Barcelona's Extension, the Eixample district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
Barcelona's Eixample, or Extension, district is a great example of fine urban planning, its broad boulevards lined with sidewalk cafes, stylish shops, beautiful landscaping, and thousands of excellent apartments. We stroll along with our Barcelona guide, Sandra Benzal, exploring Passeig de Gràcia, the main boulevard. Just north of the well-known Gothic Quarter and Plaza Catalunya, many tourists might miss this Eixample neighborhood, but you will see it is worth visiting. Several landmark Modernist buildings are here including Casa Batllo and Casa Milà by the great man, Gaudí. We show you those in a follow-up movie also with our excellent guide, Sandra Benzal, who you can find through aguideinbarcelona. The Eixample is located in Barcelona in the Autonomous Community of Catalonia, Spain.

Discover the Eixample Dret neighbourhood in 7 minutes
We want to show you Barcelona district by district, so we sent Asier Suescun to speak with the neighbours. Native and foreign locals to the neighbourhood give their advice and the information you need to come visit and learn, if you're interested in staying here.
Eixample is in the centre of Barcelona. Here there is everything: Markets, shops, pharmacies, bars, restaurants, and clubs... All within a short walk. Although the best thing – according to its residents – is availabilty of public transport connecting it to the rest of the city.
This video shows you everything you can see in the Eixample Dret. Like the Arc de Triomf, Rambla de Catalunya, and the famous Passeig de Gracia where there are two famous Gaudi buildings: Casa Milà and Casa Batlló.
However, they also tell us it's a quiet neighborhood. It still has life and community, where neighbours know each other in an atmosphere far from the city's waves of mass tourism.
In the video we explain the history of the Eixample district. This place is more than just a neighborhood, it is the economic centre of Barcelona. Its unique structure was designed by Ildefonso Cerda, who is considered one of the founders of modern urbanism. He devised a grid structure of buildings well oriented to the sun, designed to facilitate traffic that would not appear until a few decades later.
The neighbours tell us about the history and curiosities that can be found in the streets. They also give us tips on where to eat or go out because this neighborhood has a terrific offering for both tourists and locals.
And all this supported on a map tailoured to help you orientate yourself and not miss anything the Eixample Dret has to offer.

Places to see in ( Barcelona - Spain ) L'Eixample District
The Eixample is a district of Barcelona between the old city and what were once surrounding small towns, constructed in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Its population was 262,000 at the last census.
The Eixample is characterized by long straight streets, a strict grid pattern crossed by wide avenues, and square blocks with chamfered corners (named illes in Catalan, manzanas in Spanish). 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, where the streets broaden at every intersection making for greater visibility, better ventilation and (today) some short-stay parking space. The grid pattern remains as a hallmark of Barcelona, but many of his other provisions were ignored: the four sides of the blocks and the inner space were built instead of the planned two or three sides around a garden; the streets were narrower; only one of the two diagonal avenues was carried out; the inhabitants were of a higher class than the mixed composition dreamed of by Cerdà.
Some parts of the Eixample were influenced by Modernista architects, chief among whom was Antoni Gaudí. His work in the Eixample includes the Casa Milà (nicknamed La Pedrera) and the Casa Batlló, both of which are on the wide Passeig de Gràcia, as well as the Sagrada Família. Other architects who made highly significant, and certainly more numerous, contributions to giving the Eixample its characteristic appearance include Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Josep Domènech i Estapà, Josep Vilaseca i Casanovas and perhaps above all Enric Sagnier i Villavecchia, responsible for a total of over 500 buildings in the city (not all of them in the Eixample).
The Casa Terrades, better known as Casa de les Punxes, is replete with Mediaeval allusions that stands at the junction of Av. Diagonal with Carrer Rosselló. It was built in 1903–1905 by the Modernista architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch, who used Nordic Gothic and Spanish Plateresque resources side by side, along with traditional Catalan motifs.
The Casa Batlló is part of a block called the Illa de la Discòrdia, along with two other notable Modernista works, Lluís Domènech i Montaner's Casa Lleó Morera and Josep Puig i Cadafalch's Casa Amatller. The block is so named due to the visual clash between the buildings; its Spanish name, Manzana de la Discordia, is also a pun on Eris's Apple of Discord - manzana means both apple and city block.
There are six administrative neighborhoods:
L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample
La Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample
Dreta de l'Eixample
Fort Pienc
Sagrada Família
Sant Antoni

Barcelona part 9 Eixample, Gaudi, Sant Pere
We continue with our detailed story about how to spend three days exploring Barcelona: There is much more to see in the downtown center -- visits which could have been made earlier if you don't have the added luxury of a third day. Spreading out the walks this way provides the pleasure of absorbing the sights at a relaxed pace while leaving time for unplanned detours.
Start out once again at Plaça de Catalunya and walk north a few blocks along Passeig de Gracia to appreciate some of the great Modernista buildings along this major boulevard, including another masterpiece by Gaudi, Casa Batlló, with curvaceous lines that seem organic, growing like a plant out of the ground, or considered by some to look like bones. The architecture is also considered a metaphor that portrays the legend of St. George slaying the dragon, evidenced by the building's roof contoured like dragon's skin, and the interior stairway banister shaped like a dragon's spine.
Two blocks further north you will find Gaudi's other famous apartment house, the Casa Mila, also called La Pedrera, which means stone quarry because of the large amount of rock it took for construction. This is a former apartment house now owned by a bank and open to the public as a museum, and is still partly occupied as a private residence.
You are in a modern section of town called Eixample, a 19th century enlargement of Barcelona with many trendy boutiques, sidewalk cares, art galleries and wonderful architecture -- so if this is your style, wander and browse for a while.
Lovers of modern art would enjoy a visit to the MACBA Museum of Contemporary Art, housed in a dramatic, all-white 1995 building designed by Richard Meier, located in the Raval district on the west side of the Rambla, a pleasant five-minute walk from Plaça de Catalunya along the pedestrian Carrer d'Elizabets. When satisfied, plunge again into the Gothic Quarter.
If you would care to veer away from the tourist path for a taste of an ordinary working-class neighborhood with a medieval atmosphere, continue east a few blocks through the district of Sant Pere, traversed by three parallel streets, all named St Pere but ending with different suffixes: mes Alt, Mitja and mes Baix. Narrow, pedestrian alleys interconnect them creating a delightful maze of ancient lanes in which to wander. The neighborhood is named for the former convent monastery of St Pere, an ancient church on the small plaza of St. Pere. The church's dark interior features 10th century Corinthian columns, a 12th century dome and Byzantine barrel vaulting. As you walk along you will see the locals going about their business, shopping, talking, hanging out and skating by. Small grocery shops spill out onto the sidewalk with stands for fresh produce, next to alluring bakeries that will tempt you with their sweet delights. This is a quiet part of town that enjoys a slow pace of life in a world of its own. Exit this district along Basses de St. Pere, which leads to Carrer dels Corders, one of the main thoroughfares through the area.
