Gracia’s charming atmosphere makes it a very attractive neighborhood to stay while visiting Barcelona. The name itself means “Grace”. Because it was a self-sufficient and independent community until the 20th century, Gracia has a very particular way of being. It is a lively district of Barcelona, with many bars and coffee shops populated by artists and creative people. Every year, during the month of August, Gracia organizes a five-day festival, in which its residents enter a competition for the most beautiful and well-decorated street.
If you are coming to Barcelona and wish to have a small taste of local traditions, Gracia is a great choice. And if your budget is running low, do not worry, for Gracia has some very nice and cheap hostels for those who travel without big luxuries.
