Gracia

Gracia is one of the most visited districts of Barcelona. Some of the streets have pretty little two storey buildings, while the many quaint plazas, unique to this area offer a lovely opportunity to stop, take in the ambience,have a drink, chat and relax in one of the many coffee shops that surround all the plazas.

Despite the conjunction with Barcelona , Gracia´s independent attitude is still reflected in a strong attachment to traditions like the Fiesta Major, which for a few days in August makes the area the centre of the whole city. The district contains a large number of small shops, which sell many craft and handmade goods.

Especially students who come to live in Barcelona show a great affinity towards the Gracia District. It is home to a large number of student residents, a sizeable Catalan-speaking community, and a substantial community of artists, actors, musicians, photographers and designers, all of whom contribute to its bohemian flavour.
