If you start your journey from the Hotel Acta Laumon, you immediately realize why La Sagrera has that special atmosphere. It’s a neighborhood that has managed to stay in the shadow of the bustling city center, where the elderly still sit and chat in the squares, and small shops maintain that authenticity that is hard to find in other parts of the city. But don’t be fooled by its apparent calm. La Sagrera has a more vibrant, creative, and alternative side, and that’s where Nau Bostik comes into play.
