Gr\u00e0cia<\/a><\/strong> used to be a farming area with a small number of houses and wide open fields. The area started becoming more populated with the construction of convents, and soon after, high-class houses.<\/p>\n

This area was not a part of Barcelona,<\/strong> but a little town of its own. It was only around 1880, when the district of Eixample started taking shape, that Gr\u00e0cia<\/strong> became part of Barcelona.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, \u00a0Gr\u00e0cia<\/strong> is considered one of the most interesting districts in the city. This area is inhabited mostly by young people who, in the past few years have made Gr\u00e0cia<\/strong> become a hip and artistic area, full of art galleries and alternative stores.<\/p>\n
