The Barrio Gotico or Gothic Quarter is the core of Barcelona and one of its most ancient
parts. Delimited by the Ramblas, a promenade as emblematic as it’s
animated, and the majestic Via Layetana, this district of medieval
origins congregates very interesting monuments like the Cathedral, the Santa
Maria del Pi church or the Palace of the Generalitat where the
Catalonian government has its seat. Without a doubt this area is perfect to
rent a tourist apartment in Barcelona.
The Gotico also hosts many corners and little squares
steeped in history, between roman walls and narrow medieval streets. Portal del Angel and
Portaferrissa streets are perfect for the most demanding shoppers with many
different boutiques and shops.
The Ramblas represent without a doubt the most known walk
of Barcelona since the visitor who strolls along
its two kilometres has the opportunity to see a never-ending line of shops,
restaurants, bars and cafes but also to admire emblematic buildings such as the
Teatro Liceu (Barcelona’s
opera), the Boquería market or the Plaza Real.
The Ramblas start with the Plaza Cataluña and
end with the Columbus
monument facing the port. To rent an apartment in this area is to be the
closest to the authentic Barcelona.
