It is also one of the oldest and most traditional (just take a look at it's history, making it a favourite for tourists, but a stroll by the seafront will also show you that it's home to many modern sculptures along the coast. With its proximity to the Metro (Barceloneta) and many bus lines, most people come here via public transport.
