visited sarria in the north west end of the city where the plaza looks like so many tiny villages in the middle of spain. though i hadn´t connected the dots until yesterday, it completely made sense that barcelona was a town quite distinct from its current boroughs such as sarria, montjuic, sant andreu.
as barcie headed into the industrial revolution and demand for real estate grew in leaps and bounds, the l´eixample area began to take shape with architectural masters leaving their distinct marks. it didn´t take long before the new district grew to fill the gaps between barcelona and its neighbouring areas. these boroughs soon became part of barcelona while maintaining their original small village feel. cool!
