El Born is undoubtedly one of the most fashionable and up and coming areas in Barcelona. It offers many fashionable boutiques, unique art galleries, excellent restaurants and tapas. Walking through the El Born feels as though you are walking through an old city from the medieval times but it is undeniably dynamic and vibrant. El Born offers beautiful architecture and history - and in the 1980s the city began a major renovation of the area which explains its dynamism today. It is easy to get lost in the magic and energy of El Born. Weave your way through the alleyways and visit the Picasso Museum, Palau de la Musica and the church of Santa Maria del Mar - right across from the best dessert shop in the city!
