Sants is a real neighborhood: lots of street life, local shops, parks and one of the most colorful neighborhood festivals in Barcelona. It’s also home to BCN Kush, on Carrer de Galileu. If you’re coming to explore it, here’s what you can’t miss.
Industrial Spain Park
Built on the site of a former textile factory, it is one of the city's most intriguing parks: it features a large grandstand, towers reminiscent of lighthouses, and a massive dragon sculpture. It is right next to the Sants station.
Joan Miró Park
Also known as Parc de l’Escorxador, because it stands on the site of the old slaughterhouse. Its icon is Joan Miró’s sculpture Dona i Ocell, covered in colorful ceramic tiles, rising above a pond.
Carrer de Sants and the market
Carrer de Sants is one of the longest shopping streets in Barcelona, with all kinds of stores. Nearby are the Mercat de Sants and Plaça de Sants, great spots to see the neighborhood’s everyday life.
Neighborhood Culture: Cotxeres and Can Batlló
- Cotxeres de Sants: a former tram depot turned cultural center, with exhibitions and activities.
- Can Batlló: a former industrial complex in La Bordeta, reclaimed by local residents as a community space.
The Sants Festival
In late August, several streets in the neighborhood compete for the best decorations. Residents spend months preparing their streets using recycled materials and increasingly elaborate themes. If you're in Barcelona around that time, it's definitely worth checking out.
How to Get There
Sants is very well connected: Sants Station (trains, high-speed trains, and Metro lines L3 and L5) and the stops at Plaça de Sants (L1 and L5), Hostafrancs (L1), and Plaça del Centre (L3). From the station, BCN Kush is just a few minutes’ walk away.
Remember
Consuming or carrying cannabis on the street is punishable, including in parks and on public transportation (we explain it in can you carry marijuana on the train?). BCN Kush is a private association, for members aged 18 and over only and by invitation.
