Diagonal Mar and Front Marítim del Poblenou

is a neighborhood in Barcelona, located in the Sant Martí district. It is a relatively new neighborhood, created as part of the urban plan of 2004 to celebrate the Universal Forum of Cultures. The name comes from its location, as this neighborhood marks the beginning of Diagonal Avenue facing the Mediterranean Sea.

This neighborhood is known for hosting the Diagonal Mar Shopping Center, which features a glass dome, 240 stores on 3 floors, and numerous leisure and dining options. In addition to the shopping center, there's also the Parc del Fòrum, the CCIB (Barcelona International Convention Center), the Escola d'Enginyeria de Barcelona Est, and several hotels in the same area.

If you prefer to arrive in your own vehicle, you can simply take Avenida Diagonal from any point in Barcelona, as it crosses the entire city.

Where to Park in Diagonal Mar

The shopping center itself has an underground parking facility with 5,000 free spaces for 3 hours. However, on special days like those close to Christmas, weekends, or certain holidays, parking spaces might be insufficient. Note that some of Barcelona's popular running events also start from the Diagonal Mar area, and many runners use the shopping center's parking during the race, leaving others without parking space.

If you wish to find parking in Diagonal Mar, you can use search and comparison services like Parkimeter to find and reserve your spot. Finding parking spaces in Barcelona can be a challenging task, especially on the street. Barcelona's city council regulates street parking, and it's usually divided into green zones (for residents) and blue zones (for visitors). Before parking on the street, make sure you've paid the corresponding fee at the parking meter to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
