What can I do here?
Practice your Catalan with the locals. Tu dius adéu, i jo dic hola!
Sample the vermouth and tapas at as many bars as you can. (Not all at the same time, please.)
Try the tapas at Taberna Andaluza Dunia. It's small, it's busy, it's on Carrer de Baltasar Gracián. The mussels are good. Dunk that bread, sir.
Climb up to the castle of Torre Baró. It's in the Collserola mountains. Take in the stunning views of city and sea. Cool off in Llac de Can Dragó – an enormous outdoor pool. Fresh.
Relax in one of Nou Barris's many parks.
Fun fact
Despite the name, Nou Barris is made up of 13 neighbourhoods, not 9. Inflation.
