The name of this area means "Old City" in Catalan, fitting since it is Barcelona's first and oldest district. Set between the Mediterranean and l'Eixample, elegant Cuitat Vella is made up of a number of smaller neighborhoods, each with a unique flavor of its own. The district is one of the most desirable places to live in Barcelona. El Born has winding medieval streets and some of the hippest shopping and dining in all of Barcelona. In addition to chic cafes and restaurants and trendy boutiques, El born is home to the MoCo art museum, the Picasso Museum and the historic Santa Maria del Mar Basilica.
