A shopping street replete with pearls of architecture

The Passeig de Gràcia – La Pedrera stop on the Blue Route of Barcelona Bus Turístic is not only a point from which to visit Antoni Gaudí’s La Pedrera, but a strategic location from where you can take a pleasant stroll along one of Barcelona’s most interesting streets.

At the top section of Passeig de Gràcia you will find boutiques of major international brands and, at the intersection with Avinguda Diagonal, Palau Robert, a Neoclassical palace with gardens where you can take a rest from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Passeig de Gràcia

An avenue that has been the Catalan bourgeoisie’s showcase since the late 19th century, on which everything is art: its Modernista buildings, it benches and lampposts, even the very ground itself.
La Pedrera

Casa Milà, more popularly known as La Pedrera, Catalan for ‘stone quarry’, due to its exterior similarity to one, was the last civil engineering project undertaken by the architect Antoni Gaudí before exclusively working on the Sagrada Família. It is a sight not to be missed.
Casa de les Punxes

The Casa de les Punxes, or Casa Terradas, located on the Modernist route, was declared a historic monument of national interest in 1975. From 2016 to 2020, it housed a museum that was open to the public to disseminate the work and the figure of its architect, Josep Lluís i Cadafalch.
Palau del Baró de Quadras

Avinguda Diagonal is home to a Gothic-inspired building that has a facade on Carrer del Rosselló decorated in the Modernista style.
Rambla de Catalunya

Rambla de Catalunya is one of Barcelona’s most welcoming streets. Even though it is a natural prolongation of La Rambla, it actually starts at Plaça de Catalunya and ends at Avinguda Diagonal.
Eixample Block Interiors

Public spaces designed by Cerdà to be gardens where residents could socialise which have been progressively recovered.
Shopping

In Barcelona’s shopping areas you can find traditional establishments alongside designer and luxury boutiques, craft shops and gourmet product stores. Passeig de Gràcia, Rambla de Catalunya and Avinguda Diagonal, the Old Town and Gràcia offer some of the best shopping areas.
Círculo Ecuestre / Casa Pérez Samanillo

At the junction of Avinguda Diagonal and Carrer de Balmes there is a house with a very special history and a very special window.
Palau Robert

On the corner of Passeig de Gràcia and Avinguda Diagonal there is a building with intense green gardens. It is Palau Robert, which was built from 1898 to 1903. It was the private residence of the Marquis of Robert, who was an aristocrat, financier and politician.
Palau Macaya

On Passeig de Sant Joan there is a Modernista palace decorated with white stucco and stone sculptures. It is Palau Macaya, also called Casa Macaya.
Gaudí

As one of the greatest exponents of Modernista architecture, Gaudí was responsible for many of the city’s most emblematic buildings.
Avinguda Diagonal

Avinguda Diagonal has evolved in tandem with the city’s transformation to eventually cross it from one side to the other.
Casa Fuster

One of Barcelona’s most discrete and elegant Modernista houses is located at the end of Passeig de Gràcia. This last project undertaken by Domènech i Montaner in Barcelona features the architect’s characteristic elements, such as floral ornamentation and trefoil windows.
Gràcia. Squares

A district with the soul of a town whose charisma has been forged predominantly in its squares, the true centres of social life and entertainment for its residents.
Gràcia. Boutiques

A stroll through the Gràcia district reveals a large number of small, charismatic shops and boutiques that combine tradition and innovation. Fashion, design, craftwork and food make up the majority of the offering of a district where shopping is a relaxed and pleasant affair.
