The district of Sant Martí , in Barcelona, is made up of 10 neighbourhoods that share a common past, all of which have an industrial origin.

It was not until 1992, when the Barcelona Olympics took place, that this district changed its face by replacing industrial buildings with housing and green areas. Thanks to this remodelling, Sant Martí is now one of the quietest districts in the city and has some of the best professionals in psychology in the whole of Barcelona.
