Bright and cheerful penthouse apartment with large terrace in Barcelona's old neighbourhood of Gracia
Perfect for a couple with two childern or three adults, this comfortable and relaxing one bedroom apartment is located in the lively and youthful Gracia neighbourhood of Barcelona. The large private terrace has commanding views of Barcelona's skyline and sea. Enjoy a local bottle of Penedès wine, coupled with tasty local fuet and cheeses while soaking up the Barcelona sunset.
The area surrounding the apartment:
The Lindes apartment is situated in the heart of the Barcelona district called Gracia. Little more than a village in 1820, it was connected to Barcelona by a country lane named Passeig de Gracia. This street is now known as the fifth avenue of Barcelona with shopping of all kinds to satisfy anyone's needs. The area is quite different from its well developed and spacious neighbour: the urban plan of Exiample. Instead it has meandering streets and attractive small squares where locals meet and chat. The most important of these is the Plaça Rius i Taulet which is the site of the pre-1897 town hall and magnificent clock tower. But the most well known of all the sites is Gaudí's much visited Parc Güell, this incredible fusion of Modernism and urban leisure is the ideal way to spend an afternoon during your visit to Barcelona. Gracia is a wonderful location to stay in while in Barcelona, it is a lively and colourful neighbourhood with many great local bars, cafés and restaurants to visit where mingling amongst the locals you might learn a thing or two.

The apartment is a penthouse retreat with elevator and commanding views of Barcelona city. Its accompanying private terrace is quite large (approximately 35m2) and allows the guests staying at this Barcelona apartment a spectacular sunset every evening.

Gracia
The Gracia neighbourhood is one of the oldest in Barcelona, it has its own personality with lots of atmosphere and huge community feeling… Little more than a village in the 1820’s it was connected to Barcelona by a country lane, this is now known as Paseo de Gracia. The Gracia barrio is quite different from the well developed and spacious urban plan of Eixample, with it’s small streets and plazas…fiercely proud of it’s past independence from the main city of Barcelona.
The Gracia neighbourhood is inhabited by locals, artists, students and some foreigners and due to the varied residents living here, this barrio has a myriad of restaurants and shops, all offering good quality products at an affordable price… the streets are always full of people going about their daily lives, socialising or chatting with neighbours while sitting in the outdoor cafes….
This area has a wonderful nightlife and is full of restaurants and cafes; to really get the feel of this neighbourhood it is imperative to visit the plazas del Sol, de Rius y Taulet, de la Virreina, del Diamant, etc … the most important of these is the Rius y Taulet which is the site of the pre-1897 town hall and magnificent clock tower….
The most important of all the sites in the Gracia neighbourhood is Park Güell; this incredible fusion of modernism and urban leisure is the ideal way to spend an afternoon during your visit to Barcelona..
And for those guests coming to Barcelona in August, then Gracia is the place to be. It is at the end of this month that the Festa Major takes place…..an incredibly well-organised local festival in Gracia. Many streets are colourfully decorated each with a certain theme in mind. There is live music on every corner and you will find lots of the local people wining and dining outside. A festival not to missed!!!
Gracia is without a doubt a great neighbourhood to stay in, it is lively, colourful and definitely a slice of real life in Barcelona…
