The chic district with Bling Bling and high-end cocktail bars. More select public, stricter dress code, reggaeton vibe and Latin hits.

For a more underground and alternative vibe. Concert bars, intimate techno clubs, and true Barcelona authenticity.

⛰️ Zona Alta

Located higher up, clubs like Sutton attract a wealthy local clientele. Less touristic, more exclusive.
