In recent years, Sant Antoni has become one of the trendiest neighbourhoods in Barcelona. The reopening of its market, the fact that it is next to such a lively neighbourhood as the Raval and, at the same time, preserves the spirit of the traditional neighbourhood, have made it one of the best conglomerations of streets, among which Carrer del Parlament stands out.

Why visit Carrer del Parlament?
Carrer del Parlament links Ronda de Sant Antoni with Avinguda del Paral·lel, in other words, the neighbourhoods of Raval and Poble-sec. On this long, traffic-calmed stretch you can lose yourself among the wide range of restaurants on offer. Having a vermouth, a brunch or a good dinner is the done thing here. The city's trendiest bars, some of them New York-inspired, are undoubtedly to be found on this street.
Here you can find traditional bars alongside others with a distinctly hipster, modern feel, as well as bookshops, cake shops, wine bars and tapas bars, possibly some of the best in the city.
How do I get to Carrer del Parlament?
Follow Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes on foot in the direction of Plaça d’Espanya until you come to carrer de Comte Borrell. Walk down it for five blocks until you come to Carrer del Parlament.
