Font d’en Fargas Information for Listings
Located in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Barcelona, La Font d’en Fargues belongs to the Horta-Guinardó district. It is a residential neighborhood and a true oasis of peace, green spaces, and the cleanest air in the Catalan metropolis. In the past, this area was a summer retreat, and many of its beautiful historic homes still enhance the neighborhood. The neighborhood takes its name from a spring whose water was highly valued for its properties and from the perfectly preserved Can Fargues farmhouse. Some of the city’s most prestigious educational institutions are located here, including Ágora Princess Margaret School and Col·legi Sagrada Família Horta. The neighborhood’s tranquility allows children to walk home from school on their own. A short walk away are shopping streets such as Passeig Maragall, which border this part of the city and provide access to all kinds of services, shops, and transportation. Ultimately, it is a neighborhood that has everything: the feeling of not being in a large city while having all amenities close at hand.
