This neighbourhood was a non-stop feast for architecture buffs. Much of it is so interesting and gorgeous. It really gives you a sense of the value that was placed on beauty for beauty's sake in the period that many of the structures were built; when form was as important as function. There are also quite a few really good restaurants....

Use the Barcelona walking tour and see a complete tour of all the modern architects buildings during the era. While you can only enter a couple, the exterior street view does give enough view to show the variations in style. The shops of the area are also varied
