Vila De Gracia, Spain
From series “Top 13 Most Fantastic and Colorful Streets and Quarters”
In Barcelona, hikers should definitely walk down the street of Villa de Gracia. Every year in early August, this street is transformed beyond recognition. In the framework of the annual festival, Festa Major, it is decorated with various art installations. Special garlands of colored paper, unusual sculptures and ornaments made of recycled plastic, as well as decorations made of plastic bags are the main items that adorn the streets for a month.
Gracia Quarter is famous for its colorful atmosphere. There are many historical monuments. The best Spanish restaurants and unusual cultural institutions can be found right there. The picturesque quarter has its own special holiday. First, it was celebrated in the first half of the 19th century. Initially, quarter residents decorated their homes with all materials at hand. After some time, locals began decorating the main street of the quarter too. The modern holiday is sure to please those who like the urban style in art.

Top destination around Vila De Gracia - Barcelona
When observing numerous tourists becomes tiresome, head to Diagonal Mar Park to enjoy its peaceful setting. The park is located on Av. Diagonal Street and is fortunately less popular than the internationally famous Parc Güell. Diagonal Mar is mostly visited by locals; this is a charming place with special playgrounds for children.
In the evening it’s high time to make a walk to Torre Agbar , which is known as one of the most stylish modern sights of the city. When darkness falls on Barcelona, the façade of the skyscraper is skillfully lighted with a beautiful illumination that makes the tower look like a giant fountain and a geyser – this was the original idea of architect Jean Nouvel.
