Diagonal Mar is a seaside neighbourhood known for its gastropubs, shopping opportunities and beach area, and it's where Barcelona’s longest street reaches the Mediterranean. A former industrial area, the district was transformed into an urban wonderland full of luxury hotels, top-rate apartments, residential towers, architectural parks, business centres, a massive mall and a brimming beach.
Diagonal Mar commonly hosts conferences and music festivals, such as Primavera Sound, and additional events throughout the year. As a mostly upscale residential that appeals to families, you won't find large tourist crowds here, so it's easy to relax in the quiet and enjoy the beautiful horizons over the neighbourhood's parks and shores.
