The apartment is set on just north of Travessera de Gracia close to the beautiful square Plaza de la Virreina, full of terraces in the shadow of leafy trees, in the heart of Gracia. A century ago this area used to be a small village offering refreshment in the weekends to the rich people of Barcelona downtown, and is now just part of the cosmopolitan city. Gracia is a rather bohemian neighbourhood that is great to go out, sit on a terrace, stroll through the pedestrian streets or to discover original bars and restaurants or some of the many artisanal shops, apart from its active cultural life. The authentic covered market on Travessera the Gracia is only a two-minute walk away. The stop Fontana (green underground line) at 400m brings you all over the city, though also the elegant Eixample neighbourhood and Paseo de Gracia avenue can be reached within just a few minutes walk.
