The Eixample is one of the districts of Barcelona. It is the most inhabited district in Barcelona and Spain. It is well connected with the metro L3 and L5. In this district we can find the Passeig de Gràcia and the Rambla de Catalunya.
L'esquerra de l'Eixample is a neighborhood that is part of the Eixample district in Barcelona.
El Passeig de Gràcia divides the district into two parts, Esquerra (left) and Dreta (right) de l'eixample.
The neighborhoods that make up the Eixample are:
It comprises the western area of the Cerdà Plan grid and is delimited by the streets of Tarragona, Josep Tarradellas, Diagonal (from Plaza Francesc Macià until it intersects with Balmes), Balmes, and Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes (from its intersection with Balmes to Plaza España). The most important internal streets are Comte Urgell, Avenida Roma, and Calle Aragó.
In Barcelona, street parking is regulated by the city council. This divides the streets into the so-called **Green Zone** and **Blue Zone**. The Green Zone is the most extensive, dedicated to residents, although non-residents can also park at a higher price and for no more than 2 hours. In the Blue Zone, the price is more economical, and you can leave your car for up to 4 hours. Another option is to park in free areas marked with white lines on the ground. However, these are usually scarce.
The best option to find parking in Barcelona, especially in this neighborhood, is to park in a parking garage. This way, you'll avoid spending hours searching for a spot, and your car will be safer. Plus, if you book in advance, you won't waste a minute.
Remember that with Parkimeter, you can reserve parking that best suits your needs for the required duration.
Some of the most emblematic places in this neighborhood include Mercado del Ninot, Joan Miró Park, the Faculty of Medicine, the Hospital Clínic, Gaixample (the LGBTQ+ area of the city of Barcelona), etc.
The area of Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample is one of the neighborhoods with the most green spaces in the district, as there is practically an inner garden on every block. Its residential character, tourist points of interest, and green areas make it an ideal place to visit.
