Refurbished 1bed in historic center of BCN

The flat is located in El Raval, specifically in the Drassanes area, a two-minute walk from Las Ramblas and three minutes from Plaza Real. It is a multicultural neighbourhood where locals and people of different origins and cultures live together. Proof of this multicultural richness are its cafés, tea shops, bars and ethnic restaurants where you can taste the most representative dishes of the different cuisines of the world. You can also find in the same area trendy restaurants and bars (Cañete, Somnia, Frankie Gallo Cha Cha, Trópico, La Monroe, My fucking restaurant, Helados Rocambolesc...).

The Raval, and especially Drassanes, is a popular and working class neighbourhood that has been undergoing a process of gentrification for some years now, which has made it fashionable and has changed the profile of its inhabitants and its businesses. This process is fully underway, which is why there is a coexistence of very diverse and sometimes conflicting realities: the old humble reality - with social assistance centres for these groups - with the more cosmopolitan and new trends - largely promoted by tourism - which is gradually taking hold. Those who visit this neighbourhood should be aware that they are going to an area immersed in this type of process that practically all the great capitals of Europe and North America have gone through.

It is therefore an ideal flat for young people who want to experience life in the heart of Barcelona. The Raval is an interesting and exciting area of Barcelona. It also has its more bohemian, alternative and underground side with all that this entails being in the historic centre of a big city, but it has a special personality and character of its own that make it a must-see. If you're an experienced traveller, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this area if you want to experience an authentic and stimulating Barcelona neighbourhood. However, if you don't feel comfortable walking through areas undergoing gentrification, with the occasional presence of some disadvantaged groups, this may not be the neighbourhood for you.

What is the attraction of El Raval? The area is vibrant, historic, authentic and full of personality. It is a lively, multicultural neighbourhood with a wide variety of tempting cafés, restaurants and bars. The area has also become fashionable with a variety of art studios, galleries and trendy bookshops, not forgetting the imposing MACBA (modern art museum) and the CCCB, which is the neighbouring exhibition centre. It is also very attractive that just a few minutes walk from the flat you will find the Maritime Museum, the Güell Palace, the Boqueria market, the Liceu opera house, the Santa Monica Art Centre, the Film Library of Catalonia, the Wax Museum, the Columbus Monument, the Golondrinas boats, the Rambla del Mar and the oldest port in the city, the Library of Catalonia.

On the rooftop of the building there is a large terrace, which is open from 8:00 to 21:00, and is the only space that is shared by all the apartments of the estate. This way, in addition to enjoying the views of the city and relaxing after a long day of sightseeing, you can socialize if you feel like it. It is a large outdoor space on the top floor of the building, with comfortable loungers and a shaded corner with tables and chairs. It also has a shower that can be used by all guests. An ideal place to regain strength after exploring the city enjoying the sunset or the lights of the city. You will be able to admire the emblematic points of Barcelona from above. This will be your oasis among the hectic pace of the city
