Welcome to La Marina

La Marina encompasses the two most industrial neighbourhoods of the Sants-Montjuïc district: Marina de Port (consolidated fabric) and Marina del Prat Vermell (Zona Franca area in transformation with planned new construction). It is one of the few points in Barcelona with new-build product and prices still contained.
