Since the 1992 Olympic Games, Barcelona’s brand, both for the city and for tourism, has experienced an important promotion where the urban periphery has become both part of the centre, as well as part of its global city imagery through placemaking, public policy, and political decisions. In short, the steady inclusion of neighborhoods such as Vila de Gràcia and Poblenou into the tourist experience enhances the Barcelonan tourist imagery.

La promoción del turismo urbano en Barcelona podría ser presentada como el último de los capítulos de un proceso global donde la ciudad ha jugado un papel fundamental en la reorganización espacial del sistema capitalista en su versión neoliberal. Además, la mercantilización de los elementos urbanos ha desbordado los centros históricos y alcanzado zonas periféricas hasta hace poco ajenas a la burbuja turística. En Barcelona, la dinámica turística experimentada desde la organización de los Juegos Olímpicos del año 92 ha hecho que muchas de estas zonas hayan devenido auténticos centros; algo que ha sido posible debido a la aplicación de una serie de políticas urbanas, decisiones políticas y de placemaking que las han significado como elementos conformantes del imaginario de la ciudad. Este artículo muestra la inclusión de los barrios de Poblenou y Vila de Gràcia dentro de la actual experiencia turística que supone Barcelona.
