Nou Barris
 Until
the 1950s this part of Barcelona was predominantly rural and only
sparsely inhabited. Sandwiched between Horta-Guinardó and Sant
Andreu in the north-east of the city, Nou Barris is now a densely
populated high-rise suburban sprawl just 15 minutes away from the
city centre. The third most populous of Barcelona’s ten municipal
districts, it has an extensive public transport system including
three underground lines and a large number of bus routes. Around ten
local markets are dotted throughout the 14 barrios, or
neighbourhoods, which make up the Nou Barris district and there are
also two large shopping centres in the eastern neighbourhoods of
Vilapiscina/Turó de la Piera: the super modern Centre Comercial
Heron City and another branch of El Corte Inglés. Apart from the
Ateneu Popular - the People’s University - and the four public
libraries, the area is a bit short on cultural facilities, with only
two cinemas and two theatres within its boundaries. However parks
and green spaces abound: as well as the Parc Turó de la Piera in the
east and the Parc Esportiu Can Dragó in the west, the recently
inaugurated Parc Central de Nou Barris covering more than 16
hectares, is a geometric homage to Picasso and constitutes an oasis
of lakes and waterfalls in the midst of the apartment blocks.
