Zones of Barcelona: Sants-Plaza España-Fira

The Sants-Plaza España-Fira zone is perfect for those who want to rent an apartment close to Barcelona’s most important train station (Barcelona Sants, where the airport train as well as the main national and international lines arrives) or wish to be near the Fira de Barcelona.

It’s a popular but very lively neighbourhood, and it’s well connected to the rest of the city thanks to excellent public transports like metro or bus. The main street, Sants, is full of boutiques, shops, supermarkets, restaurants and different bars.

On Plaza España stands the Fira de Barcelona, the nerve centre of fairs, congresses and exhibitions in Barcelona. Additionally the visitor can observe the beautiful Fuente Mágica de Montjuïc, a big fountain that proposes a breathtaking pyromusical show from Thursday to Sunday, 10PM-00AM. Not far the visitor has the possibility to take a stroll and admire what used to be an arena for corridas and has been converted into a mall with lots of shops, Las Arenas.
