Gracia is one of Barcelona’s most popular neighbourhoods for travellers from all over the world. It has an electric charm that is perhaps drawn from its Mediterranean architecture, cozy narrow streets, hippy & cosmopolitan make-up, numerous small bars, and restaurants that host revellers until late into the night. It is home to Parc Guell and Casa Vicens, some of the beautiful creations by Barcelona’s most renowned architect, Antonio Gaudi.
