El Progrés, Badalona

It is bordered by Gorg, La Mora, Raval, Can Claris, Centre and the Mediterranean Sea.

[1] Like many toponyms in the town (such as Unió, Conquista, Indústria) the name of this neighbourhood —which is Catalan for "The Progress"— evokes the industrial age which was the time of its inception.

[2] The area is home to the famous Anís del Mono factory, in Avinguda Eduard Maristany.

It was built by the brothers Bosch and Grau in 1868, and it is close to both the rail tracks the Pont del Petroli beach.

The former CACI factory will host the forthcoming Museu del Còmic i la Il·lustració de Catalunya, currently under construction.
