Its name pays homage to the 'indianos'—Catalans who returned from the Americas with wealth, reflected in the area's charming, early 20th-century architecture. Stroll along Avinguda de la Meridiana, a major artery lined with local shops and cafes, or relax in the peaceful Parc de la Pegaso, a green oasis with playgrounds and sports facilities. The neighborhood offers an authentic, local Barcelona experience away from tourist crowds, with a strong sense of community and a lively market, Mercat del Congrés, where you can taste fresh produce and tapas. Its excellent metro and bus connections make it a convenient base for exploring the city's iconic sights, while its own quiet, tree-lined streets invite leisurely exploration.",[10,13,15],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","112",{"key":14,"value":12},"Ambulance",{"key":16,"value":12},"Fire",[18,21,24,27,30,33,36],{"key":19,"value":20},"Do I need a visa?","EU\u002FEEA\u002FSwiss citizens need only ID.
