Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Located close to the Gothic Quarter, El Raval and the seafront, this apartment is in the perfect spot to explore Barcelona on foot. It's an equally relaxing place to return to with sore feet, too. The living area feels instantly bright and inviting, thanks to the large windows, reflective wood floors and white furnishings. This sense of calm continues through to the bedrooms and bathrooms, which are simply appointed but tastefully so — colours and patterns are rationed to great effect and the presence of rainfall showers are welcome, too. When you fancy exploring, there are ten art galleries that can be reached in a quarter of an hour's walk, while you can go from your front door to the Mediterranean Sea in just over thirty-five minutes.

About El Poble-Sec
El Poble-Sec is often dubbed the liveliest area in Barcelona, and rightfully so. Although it is still a bit rough around the edges, it has a booming theatre scene and an abundance of tapas restaurants and drinking dens, making a casual stroll through the area a true experience for all the senses. The vibrancy of El Poble-Sec has attracted a number of artists, creative professionals, and foodies to move here, creating a village-like atmosphere of a multicultural community that feels unlike any other in the city.
