Gràcia
Gràcia was a separate village until the nineteenth century and has not forgotten: small squares lived from the terraces, its own festive calendar and a mix of grandmothers, students and filmmakers hard to find elsewhere in Europe.

Life in the squares
Plaça del Sol, de la Vila or del Diamant: each has its bar, its grandfather and its hour. Gràcia's grace is that social life happens outside, without asking permission.
The August Festa Major
For one week each August, every street decorates its stretch and competes in atmosphere: cardboard dragons, concerts and street dinners. Local festivity in its purest state.
Park Güell at the top
The neighborhood ends where the hill begins and Park Güell sits at the very top: walking up through the Carmel paths is the local route, with the best free views.
