Antoni Gaud\u00ed\u2019s Park G\u00fcell<\/a> and Sagrada Fam\u00edlia<\/a> are two of the top attractions that cannot be missed on a holiday in Barcelona<\/u><\/a>. Separated by just 1.5 miles (2.5 kilometres), many visitors choose to walk between the two sights, and the fastest and most direct option is along Carrer de Sardenya, taking the curved Ctra. del Carmel at the Park G\u00fcell end, where you can exit the park near the Mirador Virolai observation deck.<\/p>\n

However, while this may be the fastest route, it\u2019s not the most scenic. For those who really want to make the most of their Barcelona vacation<\/u><\/a>, take a slightly longer route that takes you past some of the city\u2019s most fascinating sites and interesting spots. The scenic route takes you through the beautiful Gr\u00e0cia neighbourhood for a glimpse into local life.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s your guide to walking the scenic route between Park G\u00fcell to Sagrada Fam\u00edlia:<\/p>\n

Instead of leaving Park G\u00fcell via Ctra. del Carmel, take the other exit, which brings you out onto Carrer d’Olot, and then onto Carrer de Larrard. Heading south, your first stop should be the Gaud\u00ed interactive museum, where you can learn more about the architect\u2019s life and works.<\/p>\n

Keep walking until you hit Travessera de Dalt, and cross over almost directly to get onto Carrer del Torrent de les Flors. This will bring you into the heart of Vila de Gr\u00e0cia, home to a large number of Barcelona villas<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re feeling peckish, there are some tapas places in the area. If not, turn to stroll through the pretty Pla\u00e7a de Rovira i Trias park and gardens. Turn south at the end of the park, and then head along Carrer de les Tres Senyores, past the Hideout Bar which is a good place to stop for a break and a cerveza<\/em>.<\/p>\n

By turning south at the dance school, you\u2019ll find yourself staring at the stunning Parish Church of St. Joan and the grand Virreina Palace. This baroque-style building was built in the 18th century for Manuel d’Amat i de Junyent, a celebrated Spanish military officer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Turn at Carrer de l\u2019Or, and then onto Carrer del Torrent d\u2019En Vidalet. Stop for a drink at the Elephanta bar \u2014 it may seem basic, but they have more than 40 gins on offer, and more than 40 teas, too! Turn onto Carrer del Terol for shopping and a peek at the old evangelical church.<\/p>\n

Enjoy a stroll through Pla\u00e7a de la Revoluci\u00f3 square, and then join Pla\u00e7a Vila de Gr\u00e0cia park by walking along Carrer de Ram\u00f3n y Cajal and Carrer de Mariana Pineda. By walking through the busy shopping district here, you\u2019ll find peace and relaxation at the Salvador Espriu Gardens.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re at the end of the gardens, you\u2019re on the home stretch! It\u2019s a straight route along Avinguda Diagonal and Carrer de Proven\u00e7a to the Pla\u00e7a de la Sagrada Fam\u00edlia. The walk should take roughly an hour; you can put your feet up at your Barcelona villa<\/u><\/a> at the end of the day!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
