Barcelona - Barcelona near the sea
Part of the Sant Martí district of Barcelona, La Vila Olímpica del Poblenou – to give it its full name – was extensively redeveloped in the early 1990s in the run-up to the city hosting the Olympic Summer Games. Home to just under 10,000 inhabitants these days, the former Olympic park is a trendy urban residential area with plenty to offer its inhabitants. Located close to Ciutadella Park, some of the city's best beaches and with its own Metro station, many inhabitants live and work there year round. There is also an attractive marina in the district, unsurprisingly called Olympic Port. Known for its restaurants, bars and nightlife, few districts in the city are as vibrant.
Ever since the 1992 Olympic Games highlighted just how attractive the city was for visitors, Vila Olímpica has been an on-trend place to stay. Many of its apartments are lived in as permanent residences but you will also find investors who have had success buying property to rent out. Holiday rentals in the district are popular throughout the year, not just in summer. Close to all of the main attractions in the city, Vila Olímpica really does have it all.
Barcelona remains one of the most exciting cities in Europe to live and visit. Few have made a success of the legacy of staging the Olympic Games in the way that Barcelona has and this is very much in evidence in Vila Olímpica.
