Gracia

‘The district of Gràcia opens up its streets and squares to multiculturalism and the most cosmopolitan of artists, to music, theatre and cinema.’

Once a village adjacent to Barcelona, but Gràcia became one of the nicest districts of the city. There are not many well-known sights, so you will find a lot less tourists than in the city center. There are many alternative shops, restaurants and squares with good tapas.
