This was in the entryway of a gorgeous house called Casa Amatller. This is where we almost lost Mini...she fell asleep in an instant while sitting on a bench in this foyer and we didn't realize it until we almost reached the corner. It was hilarious.
This outstanding property is located within walking distance to Paseo de Gracia and enjoys great views of the sea, Collserola Park and Tibidabo. For more information on Barcelona Penthouse for sale LFS4306
One of the various typical façades of the Eixample neighborhood of Barcelona characterized by long straight streets, a strict grid pattern crossed by wide avenues, and square blocks with chamfered corners. This was a visionary, pioneering design by Ildefons Cerdà, who considered traffic and transport along with sunlight and ventilation in coming up with his characteristic octagonal blocks.

Eixample is the "new city" in Barcelona. Meaning "the expansion," it's the part of Barcelona designed in the late 18th and early 19th century just north of the Old City. Its streets are very orderly -- a square grid -- with a few diagonal avenues running through it.
You'll primarily find 5-6 story buildings where the ground floor is commercial (restaurants, markets, bodegas, etc.) and all the upper floors are residential. At each intersection, all the corners are slightly recessed to form a small circle.
From street level, you'll notice the balconies, mostly wrought-iron or of a uniform color. If you can find a way to see an aerial view of Eixample, you'll definitely see how square and orderly the street layout is.
