Location
Ciutat Vella, or the Old Town is believed by many to be the heart of Barcelona, and comprises primarily of four neighborhoods – El Borne, the Barrio Gotico, El Raval and Barceloneta – which are full of old world character, linked by narrow, winding streets. There is a wealth of bars, restaurants, shops and diverse culture throughout the Old Town, making it the obvious choice for people looking to buy a second home in Barcelona.
The Barri Gotic is the section of the Old Town (or Casc Antic) directly below Plaza Catalunya, between Las Ramblas and Via Laietana. Full of museums, galleries, restaurants brimming with history and popular bars, the Barri Gothic tends to be the first stop on most peoples itineraries on arriving in Barcelona.
As with other parts of Ciutat Vella, there is a good selection of property for sale in the Barrio Gotico. It is possible to find larger flats and some apartment buildings have had elevators installed or have space to put one in. Many of the properties have been renovated but it is still possible to find projects which require work. Original features are evident in most apartments, with the beautiful vaulted Catalan ceilings, wooden beams, and old tiled floors creating great possibilities for combining classic and contemporary design.
Due to its close proximity to Plaza Catalunya, public transport is at its best! There are various bus and metro lines, as well as regional and national RENFE train lines available.
