Down the Flower Trail in Barcelona, Catalonia

Down the Flower Trail Self-Catering

Smack bang in the beating heart of La Dreta de l'Eixample, this straightforward and functional apartment is the ideal base for a family or small group of friends looking to drop their bags and get stuck into exploring Barcelona. Inside, a bright living space with oversized window gives way to views of the Agbar Tower and Tibidabo. Whip up a Spanish snack in the kitchenette or make yourself comfortable in the vibrant armchair before heading out into your neighbourhood. The leafy Passeig de Gràcia, with its endless selection of luxe boutiques and laidback cafes, is a fifteen-minute walk away. Along the boulevards you’ll find modernist marvels – Gaudí’s Casa Milà and Casa Batlló are within ten minutes by foot. Pick up fresh produce from the Mercat de la Concepció, just around the corner from your building, and hop on the number 47 bus for twenty minutes to Barceloneta Beach. Picnic on the sands and cool off from the unabating sunshine in the Balearic Sea.
