Porta has a privilege location as it is close to the city centre. Buldings such as Can Verdaguer remind us of Porta’s rural past. After 1960’s the neighbourhood became a residential area with several high blocks of flats being built to house the population. The centre of the neighbourhood’s life is Plaça Soller. The plaza is a meeting point for people of all ages that come to enjoy the bar terraces. The most recognisable landmark of the neighbourhood is the central sculpture done by Xavier Corberó. The neighbourhood has everything you need, offering several shopping options and sports facilities where you can practice different sports. Can Dragó sports complex is a 12 ha. Complex that includes running tracks, soccer pitches, an outdoor swimming pool and an urban park.
