La Ribera, or El Born as it is more commonly referred to these days, is the up-and-coming part of town, located next to Barri Gottic, on the other side of the main road, Via Laietana. New, fashionable little bars and restaurants seem to open every week. The cobbled, pedestrian streets have become a stomping ground for tourists and locals. The peaceful squares and community feel to the area make it very appealing for people of all ages. El Born was originally the city's trading and commerce area, due to its location next to the sea and the thriving Born Market (La Ribera actually means waterfront). However, ever since the quay was built, pushing El Born further back from the seafront, and the Born Market was closed, the area has been transformed into a fashion-conscious haven, full of social life and activity.
