Moderne woonruimte in levendig Eixample met gemeenschap & gemak

Vertaal naar Nederlands

Eixample, which translates to "extension" in recognition of its status as the newer section of the city, is a vast area that extends to the left and right of Passeig de Gràcia, north of Plaça de Catalunya.

The region is, in fact, an extension of the city that significantly benefits from the ingenious urban planning that Catalan engineer Cerdes implemented in the 1850s. The area is organized in a grid, with each unit featuring an inner courtyard, as Cerdes had a preference for straight lines. This implies that it is difficult to become disoriented in Eixample and, in addition, that one can easily locate specific locations.

Currently, Eixample is renowned for its high-end residential and retail areas, as well as the fact that it is the location of the majority of Barcelona's art nouveau masterpieces.

The architecture of the right side of the Eixample is more remarkable due to its age; however, there is not a significant distinction between the two sides.

The center of Eixample is Passeig de Gràcia, which also serves as the boundary between the two distinct areas: "Eixample left" and "Eixample right."

Eixample is a residential and secure area of the city; however, it also boasts a flourishing café culture and a lively nightlife. Eixample is a charming neighborhood in which visitors can stroll, admire the stunning architecture, and observe the locals from one of the numerous terrace cafés.

Some of the most expensive and exceptional establishments in the city are located in this neighborhood. This, in conjunction with several internationally recognized establishments, including Dry Martini, renders the region an enjoyable destination for an evening out.

Transportation to and from the region is satisfactory. Eixample is served by the FGC train and numerous metro stations. Nevertheless, the region is centrally located, and the majority of the city's other districts are easily accessible by foot.
