Poblenou. To the modern district of Barcelona by tram

Today we travel from the historical part of Barcelona to the heart of the modern city by tram, one of the most environmentally friendly and pleasant forms of public transport. Poblenou is an area located in the Sant Marti area, which is adjacent to the port, as well as to the historical districts of Barcelona. This is not just a modern district, it is a story of successful transformation, when the space from the industrial outskirts has evolved into a modern metropolis. Once this place was nicknamed "Catalan Manchester". A large concentration of industrial buildings, poor communication with the city center, railway lines crossing the main square, all this did not contribute to the development and attractiveness of the area. The rise in crime in the area made it toxic to live in. Since then, there have been huge changes. Old abandoned factories have been turned into gleaming buildings that house modern giants like Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, Mediapro, Groupalia, Hewlett Packard and about 1,500 more companies. Among the attractions here are the traditional open-air market Els Encants Vells , the Glories commercial center, the Agbar Tower, a design museum Museum del Disseny de Barcelona , the Poblenou park. Among other things, it is a paradise for lovers of modern architecture.
