Sagrada Familia is actually part of the Eixample District, but since it is generally referred to as the Sagrada Familia district, we have also chosen to do so.
This is a peaceful and pretty area
With plenty of buses and metro stations it is easy and quick to go downtown, and you also have access to the tourist bus-line. The streets and avenues surrounding the Sagrada Familia offer an up-scale, more refined, yet incredibly interesting alternative for your next Barcelona accommodation.
As well as the Sagrada Familia itself, the winder Eixample area also boasts most of the architecturally innovative examples of the Modernista movement made most famous by Antoni Guadi – Casa Milà, Casa Batlló being the most well know.
What to do on the area?
The area also boasts some of Barcelona’s finest restaurants, cafes and tapas bars. Barcelona has become one of Europe’s most cutting edge eating destinations with an eclectic array of eateries, both traditional and experimental. The streets surrounding the Sagrada Familia and the wider Eixample district have become the focus for the burgeoning restaurant scene.
Another draw to the area around the Sagrada is the delightful Avinguda Gaudí. This former Rambla is lined with cafes, bars and restaurants – a wonderful spot to draw your breath. The Avinguda Gaudi links the Sagrada Familia with the impressive Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, one of the most spectacular examples of the Modenista architectural movement.
Choosing an apartment in the Sagrada Familia area means that you are just four stops away from Plaça Catalunya and La Rambla and just five away from the nearest beaches.
