in the past, some thoughts about this area.Location - Sagrada Familia is a very central area and perfectly positioned. It is a short bus ride or subway ride to the marina and beach area i.e. a little further away than Las Ramblas, but it is also a bit quieter but still very lively. One of the main attractions the La Sagrada Familia church is also on yoru doorstep if you stay here.
Accommodation types - One of the most popular forms of accommodation in this area is holiday apartments. Apartments can be quite noisy in Barcelona, as apartments (flats0 tend to be. For a holiday though these accommodation types are great in that you tend to have a cafe and shops almost downstairs or on the same street.
Nightlife - If you are staying in this area, there are a few bars and a decent Irish pub also and several very good restaurants. For nightclubs and a wilder scene the younger ones head down to areas such as Las Ramblas and Barri Gotic. This is though as benefit to staying in Sagrada Familia in that it is more relaxed at night and despite being close to everything, you do not have the problems that the night clubs areas can have i.e. with the rowdiness.
