Barri Gotic

The gothic region holds some of Barcelona’s oldest and most revered historic architecture, including the 14th Century ‘Catedral de Barcelona’, and the Royal Palace. It didn’t take me long to fall in love with the old streets surrounding these monuments, where dense districts of seven or eight story residences bound the maze of stone walkways, only a few feet wide in some places. These narrow streets spill out into open plazas and courtyards, full of outdoor restaurants and simple landscapes, a place where people just sit back and relax.
