A neighbourhood with a true village flavour
The old district of Gràcia was an independent town until
1897, the year it was amalgamated into Barcelona. The urban layout
of the neighbourhood, with its narrow streets and small squares,
contrasts with the grid layout of the Eixample district. Today,
Gràcia retains the village atmosphere of bygone years and,
at the same time, is one of the most popular neighbourhoods with
young people. Traditional shops stand side by side with unique bars
and restaurants, and houses featuring outstanding examples of
Catalan art-nouveau architecture, such as Gaudí's Casa
Vicens and Domènech i Montaner's Casa Fuster. The lively
atmosphere of the neighbourhood culminates with its main festival -
the festa major - held in mid-August.
