Gaudí Essentials and Art Nouveau in Eixample

Barcelona’s most easily recognizable neighborhood, Eixample is packed with upscale boutiques, restaurants and bars to keep the nightlife going late into the night. You’ll also find a few of the renowned architect Antoni Gaudí’s finest works in this neighborhood: La Sangrada Familia, Casa Milà and Casa Batlló all within walking distance of each other. Naturally, as a day spent devouring art can work up an the other kind of appetite as well, make sure to fuel up on grilled meats, montaditos (a piece of bread with something on top) and panchino (a fluffy bun) filled with caviar and sour cream in between.
