Villages Inside Barcelona City
The best known areas with small streets are: El Raval, El Gotic and El born
However there are many other worth while seeing.
Most of these villages were “glued” together by the grid of Eixample in early 1900s.
The headlines link to tags related to the districts.
# Vila de Gràcia
No secret any more but still many tourist never go here.
This district is very bohemian but has become more mainstream the last few years.
Great area to go for bars and restaurants.
English is spoken in most places here.

# Camp de l’Arpa del Clot
Quite unknown to tourists hence mainly Spanish area and less English is spoken.
Most bars are local but there are a few lovely bodegas and restaurant worth trying.
Have a walk down [Rogent](http://k56.uk/barcelona/pedestrian-streets) which connects to Poblenou.

# Sants
Near one of the main train stations but many people never get to see the village here.
My favourite place is Plaça d’Osca but also try to cross Carrer de Sants and explore the other side.

# Poblenou
The “new village” having it’s own [Rambla](http://k56.uk/barcelona/rambla) with lots of bars and restaurants.
But also try to walk in the parallel streets where less touristic bar and restaurants are awaiting.
And finally end up on the beach.
