Les Corts

Les Corts is a quiet, middle-class district west of the Eixample whose international fame rests almost entirely on one landmark: Camp Nou, FC Barcelona's enormous stadium and one of the largest in Europe. Away from match days, the neighborhood itself is unremarkable in the best sense — leafy residential streets, small local shops, and the university area around Diagonal — offering a look at ordinary Barcelona life with little tourist infrastructure. The district also includes the business towers along Avinguda Diagonal near Pedralbes. Most visitors come specifically for the stadium tour and museum, or for a match, rather than to explore the neighborhood at large.
