Play Padel in Poblenou

Padel (or paddle, as it is known in the US and Canada) is undoubtedly one of the most popular racquet sports today, and it’s easy to understand why – anyone can practice it, as it doesn’t require a great level of physical fitness. An outdoor sport, it’s a great choice for those looking to do some exercise and stay in shape without being confined to the walls of a gym. If you’re staying in Barcelona and looking to start playing padel, you’re in luck – there are plenty of clubs and schools for you to choose from in the capital of Catalonia. We found three in the neighbourhood of Poblenou alone:

Located by the beach and near Barcelona’s Olympic Port, Nova Icària’s 7000 m2 facilities include seven padel courts. A club that is also a favourite amongst fans of jogging and beach volleyball, it offers many advantages to its members, such as cheaper prices for both classes and court rentals, medical examinations and free access to the water areas, saunas and spas. As a non-member, you’ll be able to rent the padel courts but won’t have access to any of the other facilities.

They promote padel tournaments and leagues, so if you’re itching to compete, this is another circuit where you can hone your craft and try to bring home a trophy. If the only thing stopping you from grabbing those wins is the need for better equipment and accessories, don’t worry – CEM Nova Icària also has a store where you can buy all the latest in padel gear.

Address: Avinguda Icària, 167.
