Sant Andreu
Your relaxed and charming hangout
Overview
Tranquil. Familiar. Good transport links.
Sant Andreu is a residential community in the north of Barcelona.
You can enjoy small-town life while living in the big city. Because it's a fusion of several old villages, Sant Andreu is also a friendly and authentic place to live.

Sant Andreu is your home away from home.
What can I do here?
See what's on at Fabra i Coats. It's an old factory reinvented as a community-and-cultural centre with exhibitions, festivals and workshops.
Discover the well-hidden Plaça de Masadas. It's one of the only porticoed plazas in Barcelona. Sombre neoclassical buildings house the bars. High archways shade the stone terraces.
Sit down. It's vermouth time. The first Sunday of each month, there's an antique toy market here too.
L'Empanat is also on Plaça de Masadas. It's a burger bar, and it's very, very popular. A good sign. A meaty burger dressed with quince, brie and walnuts? We're there.
Need more?
Explore 1,000 years of history in the old town of Sant Andreu de Palomar.
Browse the shops at the Maquinista shopping centre. It's more popular than a pirate in a pub, which is weird ... it's a shopping centre.
Central Barcelona is a short metro or bus ride away.
