Right near metro Jaume I at one end and Parc Cituadella at the other, El Born has grown into being one of the most fashionable places in the city. Every day the cafes are packed and at night people move along to Passeig de Born to sample the many bars, all of which serve up a mean mojito, don't forget to stop at the famous Cava bar! El Born isn’t just about the nightlife, there is plenty of culture to be had as well. Medieval, winding streets, home to the Picasso museum and the Textile Museum which has a great little café with a terrace attached to it and the Santa Maria Cathedral which you can wander around in and maybe even catch a wedding, to name but a few. Other points of interest in the area are the many tapas bars lining C./ Argenteria, the arab baths at Passeig Picasso and the Gaudi inspired Parc Cituadella. You can also walk to the beach too in about 15 minutes! Nearest metro is JAUME I, which is about 3 minutes walk from the apartment. www.bcnbound.com more info.
