By Tram
Not too long ago, the traditional tram in Barcelona was replaced by the Trambaix, a new network of trams that passes through various neighborhoods such as Diagonal – Forum, Hospitalet de Llobrega, Esplugues de Llobregat and Sant Joan Despi. A different and very eco-friendly way to move around Barcelona.
