Juanmi's apartment in L'Eixample is exquisite! It is quite chic in an outstanding location. I walked to Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, Barri Gotic and Palau Musica. Casa Batllo and La Pedrera are only a few blocks away. Wonderful restaurants abound in the neighborhood and Juanmi was kind enough to provide recommendations for a number of them.
From Juanmi's terrace you can see Sagrada Familia, the Gaudi houses on Passeig de Gracia, as well as the Torre Glòries building (Barcelona's Gherkin Building). But I was shocked when, standing on the terrace, I looked around the corner of the building to see the Mediterranean!
Thank you Juanmi for your hospitality, warmth and your quick answers to all of my questions. I enjoyed four lovely days in Barcelona.
Best,
David
