The best routes through the Eixample of Barcelona - ILUNION Hotels

Every time we think of a site there is always something that inevitably comes to mind first. In the case of Barcelona, surely, it will be the Sagrada Familia and, where is the Sagrada Familia located? Well, in the most identifying neighborhood of the city, where one of the best hotels in the Eixample of Barcelona: The ILUNION Auditori Hotel.

The Eixample area was born after the fall of the Barcelona city walls and was erected under the initiative of the engineer Idelfonso Cerdá as an "expansion" of the original center of the city, ending up being the most populated neighborhood in Barcelona.

The Eixample: heart of Barcelona

The Eixample is made up of a series of square streets that, seen from above, will delight any perfectionist. However, what interests us is below, at street level.

You cannot miss the Antoni Gaudí buildings, namely the Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlló and La Pedrera, for architecture lovers or good art in general. Even if you do not get to enter, it is worth visiting them.

For those who like history and a good museum, in the Eixample there are all kinds, from the interesting Egyptian Museum, for the more adventurous, to the Museum of Catalan Modernism, which has the same concept behind that of Tate Britain: Catalan art, exclusively.

However, the general advice is to marvel while wandering around the area, only by getting lost in the corners of the Eixample will you be able to find yourself in the Plaza de Tetuán, crossing the imposing Arc de Triomf and take a walk through its beautiful gardens.

A must-see is the Sant Antoni Market, where on Sundays the booksellers' fair appears with those works that are impossible to find anywhere and let yourself be engulfed by the immensity of Passeig de Gràcia, an area full of life that bets on the idea of a sustainable neighborhood and in which you will discover that you can buy, literally, anything in bulk.
