Barcelona garden city tour
The former village of rural origin, situated at the foot of the mountain, is characterized by a non-compact urban layout. Detached single-family houses and secluded mansions, prestigious educational and healthcare institutions, and an introverted private life reveal another Barcelona -more solitary, garden-oriented, and rich in textures.
With its origins as a summer retreat, Sarrià has become a favored enclave of today’s bourgeoisie. The route explores this urban fabric and social structure, as well as the highly fertile laboratory of a rich residential architecture that continues the lessons of rationalism. Likewise, a remarkable work by Gaudí, a remarkable medieval monastery and a finale in an unprecedented shopping center complete and give meaning to this experience.
