A guide to visiting Barcelona
previous post
What’s the best area? Well, I’ve stayed at an Airbnb walking distance to Sagrada Familia as well as a hostel in the historic center of Vila de Gràcia and I have to say, I much preferred this area. Gràcia, a less touristy neighborhood is a low-key district of organic grocers, hip co-working spaces and artist studios.
The narrow streets are sprinkled with cozy squares like Plaça de la Vila and Placa de Sol, both great places to sit on a bench and watch as locals socialize in groups around the square and families watch their children play.
