Barcelona Sarrià

Sarrià is a beautiful neighborhood of private residences with manicured gardens. Walking its shaded streets, or lounging in one of its parks, provides welcome respite from the noisy, occasionally grim city center. The area is relatively inaccessible by Metro and has few budget accommodations. If you do stay out here, it’s best to do so with a friend—prices will be slightly lower when you’re sharing a room, and with few other tourists around, you may want the company.
