Staying in the central and characterful neighbourhood of Dreta de l'Eixample is a treat for lovers of modernist architecture, with Gaudi's Casa Mila and Casa Batlló both within walking distance. Those who come to Barcelona for the flavours won't be disappointed either – this bright and airy apartment is just around the corner from Mercat de la Concepció's. Known as Barcelona’s flower market, it’s also brimming with delicacy-filled stalls – perfect for stocking up on some Catalan specialities to rustle up a tapas feast. And you’ll find plenty of space for dining or just relaxing with friends or loved ones back at this sleek and spotlessly clean apartment housed in a handsome building dating back to 1889. We’re particularly fond of the original wrought-iron balconies, which give way to views of the city’s elegant facades from nearly every room. Curl up with a morning coffee in bed and take in the splendour of this handsome city - it’s a fine way to start the day.
