If
you are a tourist, and you are searching for something to do or see
in Barcelona, you should go to the district of Gràcia!
I
have been living there for
three months, and I guess I won’t live in a place like this
anymore.
Gràcia
was an independent municipality until it was annexed to Barcelona in
1897, along with other villages in the area
of Barcelona. For that reason, walking in this district is like take
a walk in another city.
Gràcia
is a really creative, artistic and residential area. There are a lot
of different squares like Plaça del Sol and Plaça del Diamant,
where you can sit in and enjoy the good atmosphere.
Moreover
if you want doing some
shopping or drink something with your friends, here
there are so many little and cheap shops, bars
and restaurants
that you will never forget!
Finally,
if you are lucky
enough
to be here from the 15th august to the 21st, you can enjoy, as the
majority of people say, the best “Fiesta de major” of Barcelona.
It’s an amazing tradition where many
streets
are decorated following different specific themes, with ornaments
done manually
by young and older people with recycled objects. In these days there
are also lots of concerts and different events.
If
you want to get lost in this fantastic district you can take the
green metro and stop in Fontana, or also take different buses: the
22, V17, V15.
Enjoy
it!
