Modern Apartment in Historical Center of BCN

The apartment is located in El Raval, specifically in the Drassanes area, just two minutes’ walk from Las Ramblas and three from Plaça Reial. It’s a multicultural neighborhood where locals and people from all over the world coexist. You can experience this diversity through its cafés, teahouses, bars, and ethnic restaurants serving dishes from different world cuisines. The area also features trendy dining spots such as Cañete, Somnia, Frankie Gallo Cha Cha, Trópico, La Monroe, My Fucking Restaurant, and Helados Rocambolesc.

El Raval, particularly Drassanes, is a working-class district undergoing gentrification, which has gradually transformed its population and businesses. This process has created a mix of contrasts: the traditional, humble side coexists with a more cosmopolitan and trendier atmosphere driven largely by tourism. Visitors should be aware that this is a neighborhood in transformation, much like other urban centers in major European and North American cities.

It’s an ideal apartment for young travelers eager to experience life in the very heart of Barcelona. El Raval is vibrant, exciting, and full of life. It also has its bohemian and underground side, typical of a historic city center, giving it a unique personality and charm. If you’re an experienced traveler, this area will fascinate you with its authenticity. However, if you prefer quieter areas or feel uncomfortable in neighborhoods undergoing change, this may not be the right place for you.

The charm of El Raval lies in its vibrant, authentic atmosphere. It’s a multicultural neighborhood filled with cafés, bars, and restaurants, as well as art studios, galleries, and bookshops. It’s home to the MACBA (Museum of Contemporary Art) and the CCCB (Center of Contemporary Culture of Barcelona). Within a short walking distance, you’ll find the Maritime Museum, Palau Güell, La Boqueria Market, Liceu Opera House, Santa Mònica Art Center, Filmoteca de Catalunya, Wax Museum, Columbus Monument, Rambla del Mar, the city’s oldest port, and the Library of Catalonia.

On the rooftop of the building, there’s a large shared terrace, open from 8:00 to 21:00 — the only communal area in the property. It’s the perfect place to unwind, enjoy the city views, or socialize with other guests. The terrace features comfortable loungers, a shaded area with tables and chairs, and an outdoor shower available to all guests. It’s an ideal spot to relax after exploring the city, watch the sunset, and admire Barcelona’s skyline — your urban oasis in the city’s lively heart.
