GF RESTAURANTS BY NEIGHBOURHOOD

SAGRADA FAMILIA / SANT PAU HOSPITAL

Nothing to say about the world famous unfinished church of La Sagrada Familia. Just get in and let yourself impress by the columns, doors, lights...). But I do also strongly recomend a visit to the former Sant Pau Hospital. It has been completly refurbished and now its old pavillions have become the headquarters of many international organitzations. It was built by Doménech i Montaner, same arquitech than Palau de la Música Catalana. Both places are just amazing. Real catalan modernism jewels.

This is my neighbourhoud. I live very close to the monument, and I'm happy to say that there are several nice places where you can enjoy a really good GF meal!!

CAL MARIUS 449 : Do you like pastrami sandwiches?? This are for sure tthe best ones in town!! I love this place. It's only 5 minuts walking from my appartment, and they have all kind of tapas an GF sandwiches, though their speciallty is pastrami.

IL PICOLO FOCONE: This pasta and pizza restaurant it won't deceive you. Located about 5-10 minuts walking from Sagrada Familia it's one of the best options if you want to enjoy a GF homemade pizza in BCN. 268, Dos de Maig St. In my opinion is the best GF pizza I ever had in my life.

BORN AND GOTHIC QUARTER

These neighbourghoods cover the oldest part of the city of Barcelona. Including Las Ramblas, Cathedral area and Sta. Maria del Mar church area (Born).

The gothic quarter and the Born neibourghoods, are separated by Via Laietana, so on the right side of tis street (facing the sea) you will find the Cathedral and the Gothic quarter, and on its left side, Santa Catarina/Born neighbourhoods. 

Both places are a must when visiting the city. Lots of historical monuments, Roman walls, churches (St. Maria del Mar is my favourite, I love its late gothic style, with amaizing high ceilings.) and also lots of restaurants and cafes.
