Only steps away from some of Barcelona's best landmarks, this fashionable apartment boasts a desirable location in Vila de Gràcia. Art enthusiasts and historians will share their love for Gaudí's unfinished church, La Sagrada Familia – just don't miss out on the Gaudí Experiència museum at the mosaic-covered Park Güell. On your doorstep, you will find lots of laidback eateries and indie shops that line the trendy squares – but sometimes you can't beat a sunny day at Barceloneta Beach. Ideal for solo adventures and romantic getaways, this sandy home is a constant reminder of your coastal whereabouts. Here, you will greet the morning out on your bedroom's small balcony, perfect for sipping coffee beneath blue skies. After exploring the city, you'll want to come back and watch Netflix with your feet up – but why not trade in your usual popcorn for Spanish sunflower seeds? In the evening, slide open the doors and dine alfresco under your sun-shaded pergola.
