Making a neighbourhood

The aim of the Eix Comercial Poblenou, which can be summed up by the association’s slogan “We are your neighbourhood, we are your commerce”, is to give support to shops that sell a wide variety of products. These include shops selling food, children’s products, fashion clothes and accessories, health and beauty products, and household items, as well as bars and restaurants. Besides events and activities at special times such as Christmas, the association organises some to boost and strengthen Poblenou’s retail trade. For example, it holds a Street Market every second Saturday of the month so shopkeepers can display their produce outside the shop.

Not to be missed

One event not to be missed and which has become a traditions which attracts people from outside the neighbourhood is the Craft Beer Festival, first held in July 2012 on the initiative of some of the association’s members. On top of that, every summer they organise the Summer Market, which gives shops the chance to display their goods on the Rambla del Poblenou and make themselves known among the locals.
