‘Gracia’ has a special something – cheerful people, DIY products all around, healthy restaurants, curious shops… ‘Gracia’ is unique. Going to Barcelona and not visiting this amazing area must be considered a sin. Its pedestrian streets and its squares have a special personality. From ATIPIKA Barcelona we want to show you some of the most charming corners in ‘Gracia’.
One of the most important landmarks in this area is ‘Parque Güell’, designed by Antoni Gaudí. Bright colours and impossible forms are part of this work of art, one of the emblems of the city. Going for a walk in this park and discovering its secrets is an unforgettable experience.
Another of the distinctive elements in ‘Gracia’ are its squares, that are always busy no matter if it’s cold or hot. One of the most famous ones is ‘Plaza del Diamante’, one of the main characters in one of Mercè Rodoreda’s book – It’s so important that it was chosen as a title for it.
One of the most important dates of the year in this area is ‘fiestas de Gracia’. From the 15th of August onwards its streets ‘dress’ themselves for one of the most popular celebrations of the Catalan capital. Neighbours decorate their streets, each with a different theme, so they can win the prize that is given to the best decorated street in ‘Gracia’.
On this time of the year streets are filled with colours and a cheerful atmosphere, and not just the neighbours are the ones enjoying themselves, but people from other parts of the city visit ‘Gracia’ to discover, year after year, these incredible creations.
‘Gracia’ also offers a great variety of exclusive restaurants. One of these is ‘Con Gracia’, in which you can enjoy its tasting menu ‘Experiencia’, full of new sensations and flavours that will make eating there a unique experience.
If you have fallen in love with this neighbourhood, in ATIPIKA Barcelona we can offer you several properties in ‘Gracia’. A good example could be this newly built house next to ‘Plaza Joanic’. If you are interested, contact us, we’ll be pleased to counsel you.
