"L'estoc, Poble Nou by Little Buddha. L’estoc is a real one-off. Not only because they offer unique pieces of furniture made from repurposed wood (each one marked and numbered), but because of the social aspect: Their workshop consists entirely of people with intellectual disabilities, fostering development through work and stimulating the creative process that results in beautiful work.Their space is both a showroom and workshop where they design, produce and sell pieces created from disused objects such as wooden doors, screens, cable reels, etc."

"Tresdenou, Poble Nou by Little Buddha. What is really special about this 3D printing place is that it uses pioneering technology and materials.

"Skye Coffee Co., Poble Nou by Little Buddha. The Skye Coffee Co. is located within the 88 co-working space of Poblenou, and it’s simply beautiful.The space stands out due to its clean, minimalistic interior that contrasts with original industrial elements of the warehouse.

"Nømad Roaster's Home, Poble Nou by Little Buddha. Located in front of the BAU design school, this is THE place for coffee. The Nømad Coffee brand has an array of coffee from different regions of South America, which they treat and package themselves with whimsical and modern designs that you will find on display. The interior offers an open-plan minimal space, with little more than a table and a bar from which you can observe their graining process. Curiously, though, the set-up makes you feel completely at home and to be honest, we almost forgot we were not actually at home in PJ’s."

"Els Pescadors, Poble Nou by Little Buddha. Hidden between Ferrocarril and Jonquera streets is Plaça del Prim, a traditional Mediterranean square that really stands out from its renovated industrial surroundings.The restaurant has two differentiated areas, one maintaining the original marble tables and wooden features of the old tavern, and another two modern dining rooms that are characterized by coloured lighting and glass detailing. Although they present a contrast, they both reflect the values of the establishment, which we would define quite simply as pure quality. Not only because of the interiors and the amazing location, but because it serves the best fish in the city, hands down."
