Barri de Gracia is a really fun area to explore, with wonderful Moderne architecture scattered along the streets, along with a very pleasant local neighbourhood vibe. Nothing particularly touristy about it - just people going about their business in a really lovely place.

Loaded with great inexpensive restaurants and bars, some open squares where young people sit on the pavement with their drinks and chat the night away, lots of pedestrian streets full of strollers. This is our favorite part of town.
