  Sant Andreu

  Sant Andreu was originally an agricultural community, which became one of the city's main industrial and retail districts.

  The old part of the Mercadal neighbourhood

  A stroll through the Plaça d'Orfila, the Plaça del Mercadal or along the main street, known as the Carrer Gran de Sant Andreu, gives us an idea of what it must have been like in the old town which was once separate from Barcelona and was absorbed into the city in 1897.
