That timber pergola-covered roof terrace is the kind of place you linger over a long lunch and forget the afternoon. At 198 m², there's room to spread out and soak up the Barcelona sun, while inside, afternoon light pours through full-length terrace doors into a calm, well-lit living space. The bedrooms are quietly restful – a good thing, given the neighbourhood's pull. El Born places you steps from the Santa Maria del Mar Basilica and the Palau de la Música Catalana, with Jaume I and Arc de Triomf metro stations nearby when you're ready to venture further.

About Barcelona
Although there’s no disputing that Barcelona is a truly global city, it’s still a destination that’s fiercely proud of its local culture and heritage. As you wander the streets, you’ll quickly come to see why this is the case. The dazzling array of architecture on display is like no other, from the modernist masterpieces of Antoni Gaudí and the winding alleyways in the Gothic Quarter to the visionary residential blocks...
