Sant Martí
The Sant Martí district is situated in the eastern part of the city. It´s the second biggest neighbourhood of the city size- and population wise and is where most beaches of Barcelona are situated, since a part of the neighbourhood is the coast line. It is known as middle class neighbourhood with many commercial areas, parks and entertainment places. Looking at its history this wide territory developed towards the north during the 10th. century, thanks to the Condal Channel that transported water from Montcada to Barcelona.
However, the southern territories were unhealthy to live in and quite dry, but from the 17th century this change given to the Industrialization process and this area became one of the most important zones of Spain regarding industry. Nowadays, it’s one of the most lively neighbourhoods of Barcelona with lots of commercial areas, a fact that helps the economic growth of the city.
