Turistic apartment in Vila de Gràcia

Gràcia: Location and surroundings of this property

Vila de Gràcia is one of the most charming neighborhoods in Barcelona. Its squares, narrow and short streets and more and more pedestrian streets make it ideal for people's lives. Gràcia is very attractive and is very well equipped with facilities and services, especially cultural and educational, health, social services and for the elderly. The surface of the neighborhood occupies 1.3 km2, in an irregular urban plot of small streets and 16 public squares, some emblematic. It stays connected to the rest of the city by public transportation. In recent years, it has gained public space and, with the pacification of traffic, the number of vehicles has decreased, favoring the use of public transport, bicycles and walking everywhere. Local trade, catering, craft activity, design and illustration, as well as cultural production from experimental music to classical, dance, theater and performing arts, are economic drivers of the territory. The comprehensive refurbishment and increased services of the Estrella, Verdi and La Libertad markets have considerably increased their users and visitors, while the Abaceria market will soon begin its comprehensive refurbishment. Residents enjoy a neighborhood that maintains its village identity. Vila de Gràcia is a district with a great associative tradition: there are 250 registered entities, 38% of which are cultural and of intense activity. The neighborhood is a national reference of popular culture that fills the public space with programs that attract people from all over: the Festa Major, Sant Medir, the Foguerons de Sa Pobla in Gràcia, etc.
