Sant Antoni is part of the Eixample district and stands out as one of Barcelona’s most vibrant, cosmopolitan, and trendy neighborhoods. Despite its central location, it has managed to preserve a strong community spirit. Surrounded by shops, theaters, and top restaurants, it is home to the renovated Sant Antoni Market—a 19th-century modernist structure that now serves as a key hub for food, textiles, and second-hand goods.
The neighborhood includes numerous pedestrian areas or “superilles” that have calmed traffic and fostered a renewed sense of community for both residents and visitors. At the same time, it is conveniently close to the sea, the airport, several universities, and major landmarks such as Plaça Catalunya, Las Ramblas, and Plaça Espanya. The vast green space of Montjuïc lies just behind, offering a perfect place to go jogging or enjoy a peaceful walk among the trees.
Exceptionally well connected, the area is served by three metro lines (L1, L2, and L3) and several bus routes that reach across the city. It also offers excellent local amenities, including a large medical center (CAP Manso), top-rated schools and nurseries, gyms with swimming pools, a civic center with a library, and tranquil inner-block gardens like “Els Tres Tombs,” which contribute to the outstanding comfort and quality of life that define this neighborhood.
