Sitting within Barcelona’s vibrant El Raval neighbourhood, this bright apartment is an ideal base for those looking to make the most out of the city’s history, culture and shimmering coastline. With its glossy tiled floors, white walls and pared-back contemporary decor, the open-plan living area feels instantly welcoming. We love how much natural light pours in through the French doors here that open out onto a private balcony – this is the perfect spot to begin your days over coffee or to end evenings with a celebratory glass of Spanish wine. And when you’re ready to turn in, you’ll find a comfortable bedroom – also boasting French doors – waiting to drift you into a restful night’s sleep. Outside of your home, you’ll find a plethora of bohemian bars, cool design shops and street art filling the streets of your El Raval neighbourhood, while the nearby La Boqueria market is the perfect spot to indulge in some seafood, wine and tapas. You’re also within walking distance of the atmospheric Gothic Quarter, as well as the Güell Palace designed by Antoni Gaudí.
