Updated · 19 places we track in Poble Sec, all first recorded in March 2026
Poble Sec is where Barcelona eats well without making a fuss. Carrer de Blai is a street of pintxos, with La Tasqueta de Blai and La Esquinita de Blai among them, Quimet & Quimet is the family-run bar where almost everyone stands, and Sala Apolo keeps the live music going late. Go on a weeknight, when the street is full of locals rather than tour groups.
