Barcelona - Passeig de Gràcia 
|
|
The Passeig de Gràcia is undoubtedly the most elegant and striking boulevard in the Eixample. It links the Plaça de Catalunya on the edge of the old town with the Gràcia district to the northwest adjoining the Eixample, where it continues as the much narrower Carrer Gran de Gràcia.
Along this broad street, flanked with rows of trees, will be found numerous banks and better quality shops; note in particular the many stately houses built in the Modernist style, which give it its characteristic stamp.

The Passeig de Gràcia forms the main axis through the Quadrat d'Or, which was the upper-class residential area around the turn of the century.
