A centrally located apartment in the heart of youthful and lively Gracia neighbourhood, Barcelona.
This lovely one bedroom apartment is set in the heart of a neighbourhood which effortlessly combines local village live with the more cosmopolitan life of a bustling city.
The area surrounding the apartment:
The Sol de Gracia apartment is situated in the heart of the Barcelona district called Gracia. Little more than a village in 1820, it was connected to Barcelona by a country lane named Passeig de Gracia. This street is now known as the fifth avenue of Barcelona with shopping of all kinds to satisfy anyone's needs. The area is quite different from its well developed and spacious urban plan of Exiample, with meandering streets and attractive small squares where locals meet and chat. The most important of these is the Plaça Rius i Taulet which is the site of the pre-1897 town hall and magnificent clock tower and Plaça del Sol where the Sol de Gracia apartment is situated. But the most well known of all the sites is Gaudi's much visited Parc Güell, this incredible fusion of modernism and urban leisure is the ideal way to spend an afternoon during your visit to Barcelona. Gracia is a wonderful location to stay in while in Barcelona, it is a lively and colourful neighbourhood with many great local bars, cafés and restuarants to visit where mingling amongst the locals you might learn a thing or two. A mere six minutes' walk to the Joanic or Diagonal metro stops and within a couple of minutes you are downtown enjoying the hustle and bustle of Barcelona's Ciutat Vella.
