Hidden away, there are charming small tapas bars serving local cured Iberico ham, gazpacho soup and la bomba, a potato croquette served with spicy tomato sauce and a healthy portion of aioli. Many bars serve the famous local Estrella as well as delicious sangria and cocktails. Live music is in abundance with jazz spilling out of basements and the rhythms of flamenco enthralling the crowds. If you are still awake at 3am, there is bound to be a nightclub beckoning!
Gaudi’s Casa Batllo is literally around the corner from Casa Gracia. It features some of the most breathtaking detail ever used by Gaudi in his architecture. The styling of the building is truly organic with very few straight lines to be found anywhere. The shapes curve from one feature to the next.
The building of the Sagrada Familia began in 1882 with Gaudi working on it from 1883 until his death in 1926. At that time less than a quarter of it was finished and today it is still not complete even though it has been made a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In 2010 it was consecrated and made a minor basilica by Pope Benedict XVI.
Barceloneta Beach is a popular spot where visitors can enjoy the dazzling sunshine, paddleboarding, sunset cruises, waterside dining and impressive sand sculptors. The promenade is a delight with many street entertainers and families enjoying the warm evenings. The 4.5km stretch of sandy bays along the shoreline also includes the quieter Nova Icaria and Bogatell Beaches.  At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
