In my visit to Barcelona the histury there...

In Barcelona There is a wide variety of apartments available in the Gothic Quarter, leaving you within walking distance of some great experiences. The Roman remains of the city can be seen here in the charming Barcino settlement. You are also well located to wander you way around the immense maze of streets and alleyways.


Even more amazing is what waits in store at the Museu d'Historia de la Ciutat. This is the entrance to a world of underground Roman ruins - the most complete collection of its kind anywhere is the world. If you want to discover the history of the city, do it here by walking the 2,000-year-old streets.

Aside from La Sagrada Familia cathedral, which is the most visited site in the town, the Gothic Quarter is also home to many squares where you can relax and rewind. Placa del Rei is said to be one of the most beautiful in all of Spain. Placa Reial is also considered very attractive and has many terraces for drinks at street level.

Being the oldest part of the city, it is hard to escape Barcelona's distinguished history in Gothic Quarter. This is the true heart of the city.

El Born, meanwhile, combines the ancient history of the Old Town, with some of the city's most recent developments. This neighbourhood is undergoing rejuvenation and is becoming exceedingly popular with tourists and locals alike. It is in El Born that you will find the Picasso museum, dedicated to the works of Spain's most famous artist.

The quaint streets, lined with small restaurants and exclusive boutiques also make for interesting walks. Indeed, El Born is ideal for getting around on foot because it is really not too far away from anywhere. The beach is only ten minutes away, while the zoo and Park Ciutadella are also within walking distance of many of the apartments.

If you want a closer experience of the Catalonian culture, then El Born should be your first stop. As an up-and -coming area, it has not yet been overrun by tourists. There still remains many independent shops and cafes, while the streets are generally less crowded. This area retains its old charm, but for how much longer no one can be sure
