To Rest

The guide “Living on the street in Barcelona” recognizes public and private resources in the city that those living on the street can go to directly, without needing a reference from social services.

On this page, you can find specific resources that offer places to rest during the day. To access a municipal shelter, you need a reference from social services; keep in mind, there is a waiting list.
