The apartment is near the corner of Consejo de Ciento and Independencia, just below Aragon. It is the antique center of Barcelona with incredible buys and places to discover. The neighborhood is a middle-class Catalan neighborhood with many amenities.
On the street, there are three green grocers, a bread shop, a pastry shop, a good butcher, a newsstand, and a barber. An excellent restaurant is about a ten-minute walk.
The apartment is three blocks from two pretty large supermarkets (Valencia & Dos de Mayo or Aragon & Castijellos), three blocks to the Clot outdoor market (excellent!) and four blocks from the Glorias Mall (Centro Comercial de Glorias) with a huge Continental and all types of shops. It is also two blocks from the Flea Market, a 15-minute walk to the Sagrada Familia Cathedral and a 20-minute walk to the National Theater. It is about a 20-minute walk to the beach and to the Olympic Port with excellent restaurants. There is also a fully equipped community gym with an Olympic size pool right around the corner.
