Passeig de Gracia in Barcelona

Passeig de Gracia is a grand avenue located in the heart of Barcelona, known for its high-end shopping, elegant architecture, and cultural significance. Originally designed as an extension of the old city walls in the 19th century, it soon became a preferred destination for the Catalan bourgeoisie, who commissioned architects such as Gaudi and Puig i Cadafalch to design their luxurious homes. Today, the avenue is home to some of the most iconic buildings of Catalan modernism, such as Casa Batllo and La Pedrera, as well as renowned international brands like Chanel and Gucci.
