La Barceloneta is a neighborhood in the Ciutat Vella district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The neighborhood was constructed during the 18th century for the residents of the Ribera neighborhood who had been displaced by the construction of the Ciudadela of Barcelona. The neighborhood is roughly triangular, bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, the Moll d'Espanya of Port Vell, and the El Born neighborhood. The neighborhood is serviced by its own stop on the Barcelona Metro. Torre Sant Sebastià is the terminus of the Port Vell Aerial Tramway; opened in 1931, it connects La Barceloneta with Montjuïc across Port Vell.
La Barceloneta is known for its sandy beach (which made an appearance in Don Quixote, book 2) and its many restaurants and nightclubs along the boardwalk. Over the past several years the quality of the sand on the beach has become a source of continued controversy. In February 2008, the World Health Organisation began an inquiry designed to ascertain whether the sand meets WHO beach health and safety guidelines.
Amongst the attractions on Barceloneta's beach are German artist Rebecca Horn's "Homenatge a la Barceloneta" monument, and, where the beach gives way to the Port Olimpic, Frank Gehry's modern "Peix d'Or" sculpture.
In the center of the neighborhood, there is a small museum, called "Casa de la Barceloneta", which is housed in a preserved building dating back to 1761.
As the big city beach the Barceloneta is, it has anything you might wish for. Including an outdoor gym where you can keep up both muscles and suntan at the same time. This image is accompanied with another upload called "Barceloneta: Girls Compare"... and the soundtrack can be no other than "YMCA". Notes with other suggestions to what the guy on far right is thinking (or anyone else), are welcome!
La Barceloneta est le quartier du centre de Barcelone situé près de la plage et du port. Créé à partir de 1753 au moment de la création du Parc de la Ciutadella. C'est un quartier de pêcheurs et de marins qui subit actuellement une mutation liée à l'augmentation des prix du secteur immobilier. Le quartier a connu de profondes transformations urbanistiques depuis les Jeux olympiques de 1992, notamment la façade maritime. Si ses rues sont quadrillées, il possède un charme méditerranéen indéniable et est reconnu pour la qualité de ses fêtes populaires.
La façade maritime, délimitée par le Passeig Maritim, abrite maintenant des centres de recherche prestigieux qui dépendent du CSIC (centre national de la recherche publique en Espagne), tel l'ICM (Institut des Sciences de la Mer). Il y a l'Aquarium de Barcelone. Elle abrite aussi le spot de surf le plus réputé de Barcelone sur sa plage de sable fin.

Barcelona es fascinante y cuando uno está en la playa sin nada que hacer, solo disfrutando, no tiene comparación.
