One of my favorite Barcelona images - I like the crazy perspective that the 20mm lens imparts between the buildings and sculpture in this park. The twilight lighting really added to the image too.
La Barceloneta is a neighbourhood in the Ciutat Vella district of Barcelona, Catalonia,Spain. The neighbourhood was constructed during the 18th century for the residents of the Ribera neighbourhood who had been displaced by the construction of the Ciutadella of Barcelona.
The neighbourhood is roughly triangular, bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, the Moll d'Espanya of Port Vell, and the El Born neighbourhood. This neighbourhood even has its own flag. The neighbourhood is serviced by its own stop on the Barcelona Metro (L4).
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.
