This is Barcelona's uptown, upmarket area. The area is comprised of three main neighborhoods - Sarria, Sant Gervasi, and Pedralbes. This area ia favourite among locals for its green spaces, low levels of traffic and generally good transportation options. These neighborhoods have great access to restaurants, bars, cafes and some good nightlife venues. Expect housing in this area to be expensive, but this is certainly the best option for comfort and nature in Barcelona.
