Sants is characterized by being a cozy neighborhood; it's common to walk through its streets and feel like you are in a small Barcelona town. Traffic on major roads like Numancia or Carrer de Sants is not a problem. However, there are more labyrinthine areas where it can be complex to drive. Additionally, on weekends, the Sants road becomes pedestrianized, and traffic is prohibited.

Some of the most relevant places in the neighborhood are the Parc de l'Espanya Industrial (created on the site of the former factory), the Carrer de Sants, and the Carrer de la Creu Coberta (of great commercial importance), and the Biblioteca Vapor Vell, which reuses the structure of an old factory for educational and cultural purposes. Furthermore, the Sants station is located in the neighborhood, connecting the city of Barcelona with the rest of the country. The Sants station has a parking lot that allows travelers to leave their cars safely. Although it is difficult to park on the street in Sants, it is not impossible, you just need to be patient.

Street parking in Sants

You should know that in Barcelona, street parking is regulated by the city council. Parking spaces are divided between blue zones and green zones.

The Green Zone is reserved for residents, although you can use it if you are not a resident by paying a higher fee. In the Blue Zone, you can park without problems, also paying a slightly lower fee. You must pay close attention to where you park; otherwise, you may face fines and penalties. It is possible to park for free, but you must be patient. If you want to park from 8:00 PM onwards, then you can leave your car in a green zone, as from that time no payment is required. Otherwise, you should look for spots in streets further from the center to find a space. Another option is to take advantage and park in shopping centers, where with a purchase, you get free parking for a limited time. An example is the Centro Comercial Arenas.
