Choose a holiday apartment in Barcelona Eixample

L'Eixample, Barcelona, home of the wealthy and rich in the flavor of Modernista architecture that was made famous during the Spanish Art Nouveau movement is a popular holiday destination. If the architectural gems of the Eixample area of Barcelona aren't enough of a reason to choose the area for your Barcelona short-term rental, the convenience to shopping, night life and people watching in this friendly upscale neighborhood will certainly appeal.

*The "Expansion" as the Eixample location is known as in some parts, was designed outside of the city center by Ildefons Cerda in the second half of the 19th century. But instead of attracting all classes to the area as Cerda had envisioned, Eixample became a neighborhood that the wealthy flocked to set up residence. This could be due, in part, to the fact that his original plans were not followed.

* Although it was planned as an extension outside of the city walls, with the removal of the wall Eixample has become the main center of Barcelona as the city expanded.

* Transportation is readily available. There are many Metro stops in the neighborhood as well as the FGC train.

* Most areas of Barcelona are within walking distance, making the central location of Eixample a convenient place to stay while on holiday.

*Most of the internationally known designer shops that Barcelona offers are located in the Eixample neighborhoods, including Chanel and MaxMara.

*One of the most architecturally interesting streets in Barcelona, Passeig de Gracia, is a stroll that should not be missed, as even a casual observer will not help but be appreciative of the Modernista architecture of the Spanish Art Nouveau movement.

*Art galleries, trendy restaurants and prestigious shops will lure in the holiday-makers to while away many relaxing hours, as they stroll through the immediate areas of their Eixample apartment.

*The neighborhoods of Eixample are considered very safe areas of Barcelona, making it a choice spot for a peaceful and relaxing holiday apartment location.
