EIXAMPLE DRETA: THE EXCLUSIVE HOME OF THE MODERNIST JEWELS OF BARCELONA

The Eixample district is the heart of Barcelona because of its geographic location and for being the most important business, economical and shopping district of the city.

The name Eixample (or Ensanche, in Catalan) means 'extension' and this is the reason why the area was born, when the city needed to expand during the XIX Century and the Industrial Revolution.

The Eixample includes 6 quarters that were progressively built as the city grew, and differ a lot from each other,

The part of the Eixample that goes from Calle Aribau to Paseo Sant Joan is also referred to as the Golden Square, and it contains the greatest amount of modernist buildings of the city of Barcelona.

The right part of the Eixample (Eixample Dreta) is the most expensive one. It contains the four most expensive streets of Barcelona: Paseo de Gracia (one of the most expensive streets in Europe), Rambla Catalunya, Calle Balmes, and the portion of the Avenida Diagonal included in this area.

Paseo de Gracia is the most elegant avenue of the city where almost every great designer has its own store. The street houses some of Gaudi's masterpieces, like La Pedrera and Casa Battlo.

The Eixample Dreta area contains the highest number of Modernist buildings in the city. Virtually every palace is a masterpiece.

The area includes many hotels, boutiques, restaurants, and cafes, often with outdoor terraces.

Transport links are excellent. There are plenty of underground stops, bus stops, and what is called ferrocarril (FCG), which is another underground train.

There is a train station in Paseo de Gracia and the shuttle to/from the international airport stops in Rambla Catalunya.

From this part of the Eixample it is possible to easily reach both the historical city centre of Ciutat Vella and the area of Villa de Gracia.

The Eixample was born as a residential area, and offers therefore services such as schools, pharmacies, medical centres, supermarkets, gyms, etc.
