New question: What are the good areas in Barcelona?

I guess it depends on how you define safe and affordable.

We are renting a place right in the centre of the Ciutat vella, we've only been living here for a about a month, but we love it.

How old are your kids, we have a 6 year old who is looking for friends.

Hi there,

I have a 6 year old daughter who is half Catalan and half Scottish. Maybe we could meet sometime, so that the kids could play together.

Hi Nuria,

That sounds good- We'll send you a message with our phone number/email/etc. and hopefully we can arrange something.

Great!

We are looking for an apartment to rent in the fall for month.  Can anyone tell me if Barceloneta is a good spot to light for a month?  Other recommendations?  We plan to explore the city AND the general area.  Gracias!

i too am interested in the better areas to live, i dont have kids but im moving there in January for a year and just need a room, what areas of the city are the best to live in on a small salary?? (going to be teaching through TESOL)

Hi
I prefer El Raval, Eixample and Ciutat Vella. They are nice districts and we'll situated. You can do everything by walk. You can find a room for less than 300 euros per month in those districts.
I wish you a wonderful year in Barcelona!
