Barcelona’s most populous district, Eixample (the Extension) is a fashionable residential area where many of the city’s most expensive shops, hotels, restaurants and nightspots can be found. The uniform grid pattern of the streets, as well as the Art Nouveau (Modernista) architecture that can be found throughout the neighborhood are the hallmarks of this district. Some of the best known works of the famous local architect, Antoni Gaudi, can be found along the principal boulevard, the Passeig de Gràcia, and farther to the East, his famous Church of the Sagrada Famila. Parc Miro is located on the Western edge of this district.
