Buying in the right place: L’Eixample Dreta

Welcome to the enclave of the architectural wonders of Catalan modernism!

When we think of Barcelona, an image inevitably comes to mind that, without a doubt, falls within L’Eixample, and more specifically on the right side of this urban jewel designed by Ildefons Cerdà in the late nineteenth century.

It is the perfect choice to acquire a home in which to feel and breathe the most authentic and globally recognizable atmosphere of the city, and where you can enjoy the cultural, leisure, and gastronomic offerings that this cosmopolitan metropolis has to offer.

Passeig de Gràcia, the most elegant street in the city, is home to the most exclusive and luxurious stores in the world, coexisting with the iconic Casa Batlló and Gaudí’s Pedrera. In its buildings, you will find incredible penthouses with privileged views and maximum luxury, fantastic apartments in completely renovated buildings, or characteristic apartment buildings with high ceilings, moldings, and Nolla floors, typical of modernist brilliance.

The Rambla de Catalunya, parallel to Passeig de Gràcia, preserves in the facades of its buildings all the stately and noble charm of the early nineteenth century that extends through most of the streets of the Eixample, where you can find architectural renovated gems or to be renovated. Completely renovated buildings offer apartments that combine modernity with inimitable handcrafted finishes; you may even be able to acquire an impressive palace of undeniable beauty.

It is impossible not to mention streets like Ausiàs Marc or Girona, where the splendor of the bourgeoisie of the textile industry left century-old buildings with beautiful floors with high ceilings and luminous, as well as impressive ground floors with majestic details. If you decide to live in this area of the Eixample adjacent to the Gothic Quarter, you will never cease to discover unique details on the facades such as doors, wrought ironwork, and incredibly elaborate glass windows.

The most recent urban renewal of the Eixample Dreta has converted the streets of Girona and Consell de Cent into pedestrian walkways providing traffic relief and revaluing the properties in the surrounding buildings.
