One of the signs that neglected Poblenou is getting hip is a place like La Plataforma. Combining a shop with a cafe and live audio-visual presentations, La Plataforma is a grat place to get a feel for the local art scene.
The ever-changing exhibits are, if not always, then at least interesting, and the crafts section is great place to find a different kind of souvenir for the people back home. Keep on eye on the website for special events.
