The district of Sant Martí is a large residential district made out of several different neighbourhoods with a mix of Catalonian locals and people from all over the world. The most popular areas for student accommodation are El Poblenou, El Clot and Marina due to their location and amenities. It is a great district with lots of open spaces.

El Clot’s origins date back to Mediaeval times. It is a residential and quiet neighbourhood for students, and a nice and generally safe area. The center of El Clot still holds a village-like atmosphere, but the majority of the neighbourhood is more urban.The district is well connected by public transport.

There is shopping in nearby pedestrian streets as well as the Glories shopping mall. Mercat del Clot (Clot Market) is a non-tourist local market to do your groceries, where locals buy fresh food: seafood, meat products, fruits and vegetables, etc.
