Barcelona is one of those cities that is relatively easy to navigate on foot. It\u2019s a sprawling yet compact metropolis with many diverse and interesting neighbourhoods to explore, each with their own individual charm. If you are staying in a Barcelona accommodation<\/a>, one of the areas you should check out is Sarri\u00e0.<\/p>\n

Until 1921 Sarri\u00e0 was an independent town in the suburbs of Barcelona until extensive urban development brought it into the city fold. The area is famed for upmarket homes, luxury shops, and fabulous restaurants. In fact, some of the most popular bars and restaurants in Barcelona are located in this neighbourhood of the city. In addition to its trendy vibe, Sarri\u00e0 retains an original flavour and unique personality of its own.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are numerous green areas, and its proximity to the Collserola natural park means the area is a huge draw for city dwellers who wish to find the balance between city life and nature. There are Catalan food markets, typical century-old shops, and many nods to the Catalan Modernisme period.<\/p>\n

One area to explore is Casa Bellesguard. Photographers will adore this location as it boasts some of the best vistas of Barcelona. Casa Bellesguard was designed and constructed by Gaud\u00ed and it is said that the original medieval structures were an inspiration for his new tower.<\/p>\n

No trip to Sarri\u00e0 would be complete without a visit to the local market. It was founded more than one century ago and originally served to provide the local community with food. This is the heart of Sarri\u00e0: colourful stalls and produce tasting makes this a fun way to spend any morning.<\/p>\n

Take a walk to Carrer Major, a street that embodies the spirit of the original town where you will discover many of the oldest houses in the city. The Catalan elite and many artists, writers, and poets would come here to build their homes, some of which can still be seen in the passageways close to Pla\u00e7a de Sant Vicen\u00e7 and Passatge de Mallofr\u00e9.<\/p>\n

It is worth straying off the beaten track and away from the main tourist attractions to get a true taste of the city and its inhabitants. If you decide to venture here from your holiday rental in Barcelona<\/a>, you are in for a real treat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
