Eixample district
East of Balmes: Passeig de Gràcia and the upper grid
La Dreta de l'Eixample takes in the part of the Eixample district east of Carrer de Balmes. "Dreta" means right: the neighborhood lay to the right of the railway from Sarrià that once ran down Balmes before it went underground. It stretches from Balmes to roughly Passeig de Sant Joan and Carrer de Nàpols, shares Plaça de Catalunya with El Barri Gòtic, and borders La Sagrada Família, El Fort Pienc, L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample and the Gràcia and Ciutat Vella districts. In 2021 it had 44,088 residents on 212.3 hectares.
Passeig de Gràcia and Rambla de Catalunya both run through it. Gaudí's Casa Batlló stands at Passeig de Gràcia, 43, and Casa Milà, better known as La Pedrera, at number 92, built between 1906 and 1912 and added to the UNESCO list in 1984. A block off the avenue, the Passatge de Permanyer keeps the small houses with front gardens laid out in 1864, and beneath the corner of Passeig de Gràcia and Aragó a station links Rodalies and regional trains with metro lines L2, L3 and L4.
In a neighborhood with the city's central square, a rail and metro interchange and two Gaudí houses, a driver covers several kinds of trip: a flight from El Prat, a train from Barcelona Sants, a day of appointments across the grid, or the drive to Sitges, Montserrat or Madrid. Give the building number and the nearest cross street with your request, and the journey is quoted for that pickup.
