Description Second Sun: Barcelona

What a fabulous location this stylish apartment has in Barcelona – Gaudí's masterpiece Casa Batlló is a mere three-minute stroll away. If designer shopping is more your bag, then Paseo De Gracia is a six-minute saunter with its boutiques such as Gucci, Chanel and Versace. Lively Plaza Catalunya and Las Ramblas are both a ten-minute walk or another of Gaudí's iconic landmarks, the Sagrada Familia is just over twenty minutes on foot.

This home is housed in a grand period building. We love the open plan living space with its high ceilings, exposed brick walls and stunning steel, open-tread staircase – this place has a cool, warehouse vibe. Elsewhere in the apartment, you’ll find traditional features such as barrel-vaulted ceilings and Spanish tiles. Open the French doors onto the balcony with its views over the neighbourhood, whip up a fideuà in the modern kitchen and enjoy a Catalan feast at your dining table. This apartment is perfect for a group of friends, a family or professionals on business in this vibrant city.
