\n<\/p>\n

- Casa Batlló<\/a> and Casa Milà<\/a> (also known as the Pedrera) are two of Gaudí’s most famous works, which you should absolutely not miss during your stay in Barcelona.<\/li>\n
- Other superb, if lesser known, buildings that are worth the trip are the Casa Lleo i Morera, Casa Amatller<\/a>, Casa Fuster, Casa Pons i Pascual, Casa Vidua Marfa, Casa Antoni Rocamora…<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Passeig de Gràcia, bastion of luxury hotels<\/h2>\n
![\"majestic](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/04\/majestic-passeig-de-gracia.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nWhat is a chic boulevard without luxury hotels! There are plenty of 4 or 5 star establishments: Majestic, Condes de Barcelona, Mandarin Oriental, Casa Fuster, Hotel Omm…<\/p>\n
Some are quite modern, such as the hotel Omm or Condes de Barcelona, but others have retained their art nouveau charm. In particular, Casa Fuster, a splendid building that we strongly suggest you visit even if only to have a drink or a coffee, as it provides an exceptional setting.<\/p>\n
If you’re looking for a stylish and comfortable hotel that’s not too expensive, the Sixtytwo<\/a> might be exactly what you need.\n<\/p>\n
Passeig de Gourmets<\/h2>\n
It’s a gastronomic festival that is held every year in March. This year is from March 14 to 24, 2019. <\/span><\/p>\n
During these 10 days, several well-known restaurants in the area offer a tapas route for €7 or a high-quality tasting menu for €50. In addition, workshops and activities are also organized.<\/span><\/p>\n

Useful information<\/h2>\n
Where to eat and drink on the Passeig de Gràcia?<\/h3>\n
- \n
- For a little time out, head to the roof terrace of one of Passeig de Gràcia’s luxury hotels: the decor and view will astonish you! We really like the terrace at Condes de Barcelona (more information here<\/a>), but the Majestic, the hotel Royal or Casa Fuster are also worth a look. The prices are higher than in a traditional café but the setting is worth the higher price.<\/li>\n
- For anything more substantial, we advise you to avoid the establishments on the Passeig de Gràcia. They are very touristic, and generally overpriced. Head instead to one of our favourite places near the Passeig de Gràcia.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
