Sants and its surrounding neighbourhoods of Hostafrancs, la Bordeta and Marina are among the best known districts of the city of Barcelona: a district that used to be a countryside town and which thanks to the industrialisation in the 19th century, would become one of the most dynamic, popular and busiest of the city. Albert Torras traces the history of this once independent rural town that is today one of the most populated and industrious in the city. A tour of its streets and squares, factories and churches, which offers an overview of the history of Sants and its neighbourhoods.
