Hi! My name is Eladi, I'm a very curious guy, I love to travel and meet new people. I'm in love with Barcelona and with my neighborhood, Poblenou. My friends always tell me that I should be a tour guide because I love history, urbanism, anecdotes and traditions. So here I am! I would like visitors to discover more neighborhoods than those in the city guides. That's why I would like to show you one of my favorites districts: Poblenou. Would you like to come with me?
