The neighbourhood - Eixample Derecha
Eixample Derecha is the place to be! The heart of the Eixample, Passeig de Gràcia, is just a short walk away. This broad boulevard is lined with Barcelona's top luxury hotels, designer boutiques and restaurants. It is also the epicentre of Modernist architecture, the location of some of Gaudí's most iconic buildings. All around Girona34 are new renovations of historical buildings, new pedestrian areas, new businesses and new life. Eixample is a large district north of Plaça Catalunya on the left and Passeig de Gràcia on the right. It is translated from Catalan as "extension" because it is the city's newest part. In the 1850s, Cerdá, a great Catalan engineer, was in charge of the city's expansion. Because Cerdá despised straight lines, the entire area is built out in a grid, with each building block having its patio. As a result, it's challenging to get lost in the Eixample. As a result, finding locations is a breeze.
Most of Barcelona's art nouveau gems are currently housed in the Eixample. It's a nice residential area with various shops and some of the city's best restaurants. It's a fantastic area to live, always bustling with activity.
