Why should you visit Vila de Gràcia?
- Plaça de la Virreina. Get off the Fontana L3 subway station and take Astúries street all the way down until you hit this scenic plaza presided by the church of St. Joan Baptista.
- Plaça del Diamant. Retrace your steps back on Astúries (or take Carrer de l’Or, for a chance) until you get to another iconic Gracia plaza. This neighborhood is also known as “Barri del Joier” (Jeweler’s quarter) because it was originally developed by a jeweler who gave the streets names of gems: gold (Or), pearl (Perla), ruby (Robí), topaz (Topazi)… and eventually its center: the Square of the Diamond.
- Plaça de la Revolució. Now go back to Verdi street and stroll down window shopping. The street ends (or should I say, starts) in a paved plaza that doesn’t have much charm except for having one of the best gelato places in town: Gelateria Italiana Deliziosa.
- Plaça del Sol. Back to the surface, take Ramon y Cajal street back again, and right after crossing Torrent de l’Olla you’ll reach the most popular Gracia square for partying at night.
