Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
As you wander the wide boulevards of the Eixample district, don’t forget to look up. With every step you take, you can hardly avoid a striking piece of architecture. From Gaudí’s quarry-like Casa Milà, to the dreamlike dragon scales of Casa Batlló, your apartment is less than a six-minute walk from both. And like the designs of the city’s most famous son, your home doesn’t exactly follow Catalan tradition. Natural and urban worlds collide in this warm and welcoming apartment, where hanging plants and potted shrubs create a greenhouse vibe in the living space. Wicker chairs and woven fabrics deepen this organic connection, with a hay-like feature decor piece bringing the theme together in this botanical adobe. The furniture however remains modern and sophisticated, with Scandi ideals creating a zen-like atmosphere – stick something soothing on the record player to complete the ambience. We also imagine you’ll be spending a lot of time out on the balcony's wooden dining set, nibbling olives and sipping tempranillo. With boutique shops and lively restaurants lining the streets below, you can take a good look from up here to decide where you might check out later.

Eixample is overflowing with greenery – trees line the quiet streets and you're never far away from a square to relax in.
