The old part of El Clot in Barcelona

Near Plaça de les Glòries, there is the old part of El Clot. We recommend you to visit this neighbourhood of Barcelona, away from tourism and with some remarkable places.

The main street is El Clot Street. It is interesting to take a walk through this street, because there is a lot of history you can find in some details.
