You will be staying in the lower part of Gràcia neighborhood, right next to the intersection between Paseo de Gràcia and Diagonal Avenue. Before the XIX century, Gràcia used to be an independent village, this is why you will see several houses with their own back gardens in this area. It is an area with many interesting small shops and a big selection of bars and restaurants. You can find may small independent restaurants with all kind of styles and food, independent designers shops, antiques and decoration shops, etc. Verdi street, is probably most well known street in this neighborhood and tends to get very busy on weekends! This is where you will find the Verdi Cinemas, one of the only original version cinemas in Barcelona. The street where the apartment is located is semi-pedestrian (so calm despite being in the middle of everything) and the neighbors are quiet and friendly, so your rest is guaranteed. Beside everything you can do in Gràcia, you will also be right next to Passeig de Gràcia, where you can find more luxury shops and restaurants, if that is what you are looking for! And in all the streets around Passeig de Gràcia you'll find the classic and modernista neighborhood of Eixample/Ensanche -the city centre-, full of shops of all kinds, from high-street to traditional independent, restaurants, services, offices, etc. You'll be in the middle of eveything!
