Things to Do in El Clot and Glòries: A Neighborhood Guide

El Clot is a neighborhood with a village soul inside Barcelona: quiet squares, an old-fashioned market and, just a few minutes away, the city’s most modern architecture at Glòries. This is where you’ll find CUBE, on Carrer dels Enamorats. Here’s our guide to getting to know it.

Clot Park

Built on the site of former railroad workshops, it still features brick walls and arches from that era. It’s a unique park that really captures the spirit of the neighborhood—perfect for taking a break.

Clot Market and Mercadal Square

The market and the squares surrounding it are the heart of neighborhood life, with local shops, bars, and quiet outdoor seating areas.

Els Encants

The Mercat dels Encants is one of the oldest flea markets in Europe. Under its huge mirrored canopy you’ll find antiques, clothes, furniture and all kinds of objects. Perfect for browsing.

Glòries: Glòries Tower and Design Museum

  • Torre Glòries: Jean Nouvel's colorful skyscraper, with an observation deck at the top.
  • Museu del Disseny: design, fashion and decorative arts in a building that doesn't go unnoticed.
  • Parc de les Glòries: the large green space that is transforming the square.

The Sagrada Família, just a short walk away

From El Clot, you can walk to the Sagrada Família. It's a great way to combine a visit to the church with a stroll through a less touristy neighborhood.

How to Get There

The nearest stops are Clot (L1 and L2), Encants (L2) and Glòries (L1). The El Clot-Aragó Rodalies station connects directly to the airport (R2 Nord line). If you’re flying, read traveling with marijuana: what you need to know first.
