Gracia is one of the 10 neighbourhoods that compose the magnificent Barcelona, specifically the smallest of them. Despite its size, Gracia is one of the most attractive neighbourhoods in the city. It needs to be said that not all neighbourhoods preserve for so long time their unique personality and awesome display of culture.
Gracia has the architecture and the environment of a small city but in the heart of the metropolis. Its streets, its squares give this neighbourhood its own identity that is transmitted.
The location is key in the life of a freelancer or an enterprise, therefore, it is very important to know what this neighbourhood can contribute to your business that you won’t find in other places.
Public transport one of its great advantages
Firstable public transport. Gracia is a neighbourhood with many access facilities. You will find Bus stops, metro and train stations throughout the Vila, also Bicing stations and bicycle parking places are common and other interesting alternatives like Avancar. Besides, most of the streets of the neighbourhood are a pedestrian priority, so going from one place to another one by walk or skate is nice and easy. When you decide about a coworking, it is important to prioritize that has good access -as well as to make it easier for clients-.
Its multiculturalism and culture
Gracia is a multicultural neighbourhood, an aspect that enriches those of us who work here. Working in a zone so rich in culture gives you a more open global vision of the world and much more realistic. Living in multiculturalism is an advantage that few places can offer you. Gracia unites the antiquity of traditions with a recent cosmopolitan culture.
Creativity is expanding constantly. A neighbourhood full of cinemas, theatres, cultural centres, galleries, and local shops that give each area of the city a very attractive image.
Its magnificent spaces
Gracia has a multitude of spaces that can turn your workplace into the perfect environment to spend the morning. Without forgetting that it can bring you many facilities in the labour issues.
The space that surrounds your place of work is important because it significantly influences your mood and your behaviour. Noise, temperature, pollution … These are factors that affect our daily life and these vary depending on where we are. Gracia has unusual places that will turn into your everyday scenario in your stage in a Coworking.

Eating, a priority

The wide range of bars, taverns, old wineries, and restaurants is extensive. Catalan food, meals of the world, tapas bars … Everything you need to take a break and return to work.
