The cultural hub of El Born is a district that’s certainly full of life, but not so full of tourists. Find cafés and bars hidden down intriguing alleyways, or visit the enormous Parc de la Ciutadella for a taste of the natural world. Six minutes away, this apartment has a bird’s eye view over it all. And with galleries like Moco Museum and Museu Picasso just a seven-minute stroll from home, life is pretty peachy on the ground too. Tasteful, bold, and multicultural – three words that could describe the area as well as these interiors. Typical Catalan design comes through tiling and timber beamed ceilings, but there’s a nod to Japanese influence from the bamboo partition to the bedroom. Plants, wicker, and woven textures bring a feeling of Bali into this studio-like space, while the modern, charcoal kitchen is reminiscent of an industrial NYC apartment. But it doesn’t end there. Pause the record player and head to the luxe roof terrace for spectacular views over El Born and neighbouring Barri Gòtic. Think siestas on the loungers, brunches at the dining set, or sunsets on the sofa (pitcher of sangría optional).

About Gothic Quarter

Gothic Quarter is a true tourist hotspot, filled with shops and famous attractions on every corner. During the day, urban explorers fill its narrow, stone-paved streets, admiring the neo-Gothic sights – but it’s the night that sees the Quarter truly come to life. Home to some of the city’s most popular restaurants, bars, and quirky shops that stay open till late, the vibrant area is popular among young travellers and party-goers seeking the best Barcelona has to offer.
