The neighborhoods of each city tend to have their own identity and characteristics that are well known by the people who live in the area. From all our lives, we know that there is more “crappy” neighborhoods & rdquor;others more “preppy”, and places that are best avoided due to their high concentration of tourists. On the internet we can find a clever map pointing out all this and more in cities around the world. Below we will see some examples in Spain.
Barcelona: ‘cruising’ here, hipsters there
On the platform’hoodmaps‘, you can search for the city that interests you and it will show you the character of each corner. In the case of Barcelonafor example, point to the Gràcia neighborhood as ‘more bearded hipster‘ (‘more bearded hipsters’), Somorrostro beach as ‘muscle beach’ and Montjuic as ‘gay cruising‘.
If we move towards the metropolitan area, we see how the area of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona in Bellaterra is indicated as ‘perroflautas‘; Sant Cugat del Vallès appears as ‘rich catalans‘ and Rubí, the city next door, as ‘Can’t afford Sant Cugat’.

We changed the area and went to Andalusia, more specifically to Seville. On the other side of the river, Triana appears divided between ‘Frank‘ Y ‘Pijos Cayetanos‘, while the area around Plaza de España and Parque de María Luisa is described as ‘Pleasant walk’.
Also in Seville, in the well-known neighborhood of the 3,000 homes they write: ‘dangerous area‘ (‘dangerous area’) and ‘you don’t want to come to this area’ (‘you do not want to come to this area’). Of course, they could not miss the taunts to the neighborhood of Seville Eastof which they simply say: ‘it’s not Seville‘.
