Heart of Gràcia: Plaça de la Vila
Kick off your route at the iconic Plaça de la Vila, Gràcia's administrative and social heart. Admire the imposing clock tower and the old town hall building, symbols of the neighborhood's identity. It’s the perfect spot to get your bearings, feel the local pulse, and soak in the atmosphere before diving into your culinary adventure.

"Take a moment to check out the architectural details of the clock tower, and if it's time, listen for its bells. It's a must-stop to grasp Gràcia's history."

FoodHead up to Plaça de la Virreina, one of Gràcia's calmest squares, overlooked by the church of Sant Joan. At Virreina Bar, with its terrace right on the square, a vermouth with olives or patatas bravas is practically a must.

"The terrace fills up at weekend lunchtime: go before 1 pm."

VisitEnd the route at Casa Vicens, the first house Antoni Gaudí designed (1883-1885). Before the Gaudí of curves, colour rules here: flower tiles, brick and an Oriental feel.
