Eixample
La Dreta de l’Eixample
If you live here, you can walk to almost everything you need and pay for the privilege in a flat whose interior room never sees the sun.
West of Pau Claris is luxury retail, hotels and offices, with few young residents and upper floors that empty at weekends. East of Bruc, around Girona, Bailèn and Passeig de Sant Joan, is a genuinely residential grid with the Concepció market and terraces. It is as young as Gràcia and the most EU-international central area, while the residents' association counts a 30 percent loss of housing to luxury, tourist and temporary uses in a decade.
The central grid around Passeig de Gràcia: the best transit in Spain and rooms among the most expensive we cover. It has two very different halves, and only one of them is somewhere to live.
