What to do in El Clot
El Clot is a hollow, literally: the neighbourhood sits in a dip where the water of the plain used to gather. The railway split it in two from 1854, and covering the tracks in the eighties gave it back a park built on the ground of an old factory. Next to it is Glòries, where Cerdà wanted to put the centre of the city. If you have a few hours, it is a village square and a market with the new city pressed against it.
At Waltru we use El Clot as a practical area covering el Clot and el Camp de l'Arpa del Clot.

Get to know El Clot
From the railway that split it to the new Glòries facilities, in three steps.
The railway split the neighbourhood in two from 1854; covering the tracks in the 1980s gave back the Clot park, which sits on the ground of an old factory.
«Clot» means hollow: the neighbourhood lies in a dip in the land where the water of the plain used to collect.
Glòries, on its edge, is where Cerdà wanted the city's centre to be; it has been under redevelopment ever since and now holds the newest venues.
