Eixample stop

Hola Barcelona, your travel solution
  • Eixample
  • Casa Thomas

If you get off at the Eixample stop, you will find yourself at a veritable crossroads of Barcelona environments: on one side the everyday life of Sants, one of the most emblematic and working-class neighbourhoods in the city, and on the other, the entrance to the great Barcelona expansion and some of its major avenues.

Life, at the centre of everything

Behind the popular, bustling Sants Station, the departure and arrival point for trains from all over, you will find one of the most markedly working-class neighbourhoods: Sants. At the end of August, its main festival becomes one of the most striking and attractive thanks to its street decorations.

Near the bus stop you will find the parc de Joan Miró, ideal for relaxing; the former La Model prison, rehabilitated as a cultural centre that you can visit, or the elegant Josep Tarradellas avenue.

Heading towards the Eixample, where we will stroll along the pleasant, completely pedestrianised carrer del Consell de Cent, we find two unique modernist houses: the Casa Fajol, also known as the Casa de la Mariposa (But why? Find out!) and the Casa Golferichs, as well as the bohemian and artisan workshops of the Lehmann factory.

What to see

    Joan Miró Park

    Popularly known as "Parc de l’Escorxador" or Slaughterhouse Park, after the municipal facility that previously occupied it, this space dedicated to Joan Miró is home to one of his most famous sculptures, which the artist specifically created to welcome travellers arriving by train.

    Centre Cultural La Model

    Escenari de moltes pel·lícules carceràries i testimoni directe de la història de la ciutat i el país, el que va ser la presó La Model ha esdevingut tot un símbol de la ciutat i de la seva memòria històrica.

    Carrer del Consell de Cent

    Si hi ha un carrer que s’ha convertit en emblemàtic de la nova Barcelona els últims anys és, sens dubte, el del Consell de Cent.
