Gracia
Tucked above Barcelona’s bustling Eixample lies Gràcia—a former village turned eclectic neighborhood that pulses with artistic flair and local pride. With its narrow pedestrian lanes, sun-drenched plazas, and independent spirit, Gràcia offers a more intimate, bohemian slice of the city. Whether sipping vermouth in a shaded square or getting swept into the surreal world of the Festa Major in August, this barrio invites you to experience Barcelona at its most creative and community-driven.
