Poble-sec, from bodega to bodega ··· It's no coincidence that Poble-sec has been given different names and nicknames in recent years. It could be said that it is one of Barcelona's most laid-back neighbourhoods so it's no surprise that the city's hipster set are making a beeline to live here. This authentic Barcelona neighbourhood was known as "little Paris" in the 1940s when it was a hotbed of fun and its cabarets, theatres, concert halls and bars were at the height of their popularity. Wagging tongues used to say that when men had been to Poble-sec they had to pray all night long to atone for their sins, and that you could even hear their prayers echoing around the dressing rooms of the most famous music hall El Molino. But these are just urban myths… or maybe not, who knows? What is true is that, despite the passing years, the neighbourhood is still steeped in the bohemian and artistic atmosphere of bygone days.

El Poble-sec is one of eight barris of the Sants-Montjuïc district and spans roughly 460.5 hectares (4.6 sq km) between Avinguda del Paraŀlel and Montjuïc. Official development of the area began in the 19th century and with every decade the neighborhood has seen a variety of changes in its inhabitants, food offerings, entertainment outlets and culture, with the old and the new standing side-by-side on every corner. Named Poble-Sec—dry village in Catalan—because the neighborhood had no source of water until the late 19th century when a fountain was built, it holds an important place in the history of Catalunya. It was here that American engineer Frederick Stark Pearson set up the Barcelona Traction Light and Power Company to administer the development and implementation of hydro-electric power originating from the Segre and Noguera Pallaresa rivers. Dubbed La Canadenca—the Canadian—by locals because it was incorporated in Toronto, Canada, the factory provided electricity to Catalunya and turned Poble-sec into the industrial capital of Barcelona. The factory brought with it many employees, who took up residence in the neighborhood due to its low-cost housing and close proximity to the factory. While the original plant is no longer operational (Red Eléctrica de España has stood in the same location since 1985), a nod to La Canadenca and the neighborhoods roots still exists in the form of the original smoke stacks, which tower over Poble-sec.

El Poble Sec, o Pueblo Seco, at moment is one of the most trendy area in Barcelona. Very central but NOT turistic, here you can find a great mix of bars, resturants, theatres and of course here the 80% of person are local
