Eixample
Sant Antoni
If you live here, you live where Barcelona actually eats: a market at the centre, and bars that fill at eight and still let you sleep by midnight.
Eixample grid on the Ciutat Vella edge, built around the Sant Antoni market. Sunday brings the book and games fair. Dense with the kind of small bars that fill at 8pm and empty by midnight - social without being nocturnal.
The neighbourhood everyone recommends and nobody can afford any more. Excellent food, excellent transport, a renovated market, and rents that have climbed faster than almost anywhere in the city.
