Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
An apartment in the heart of El Born, where original wooden beams and patterned heritage tiles give the dining room a warmth that feels rooted in the city rather than styled for it. The living room opens onto French balcony doors, and air conditioning keeps every room comfortable when the Barcelona heat builds. Palau de la Música Catalana is a four-minute walk away, Santa Maria del Mar's Gothic interior is ten minutes on foot, and Parc de la Ciutadella – with its grand ornamental cascade – is around twelve minutes' walk for a slower afternoon.

About El Born
El Born is the ‘it’ neighbourhood of Barcelona. It’s the type of place that will serve you Japanese fusion before traditional tapas and showcase one-of-a-kind boutiques rather than chains or traditional designer fashion. It’s a sanctuary for trendsetters who want to see a different face of Barcelona, and much less crowded than its neighbouring Gothic Quarter. For the culturally curious, there’s also a Picasso Museum and the Santa Maria del...
