Gràcia district, Barcelona
Chauffeur Service in El Coll
El Coll's streets slope between two hills, so a park entrance such as the Creueta del Coll's can be a clearer pickup than a house number. A chauffeur collects you there for the airport, a ship or a train at Sants.
Gràcia district
El Coll, between two hills at the top of Gràcia
El Coll occupies the northeastern tip of the Gràcia district, on the slopes between the Turó de la Creueta del Coll and the Turó del Carmel, on both sides of the upper course of the old riera de la Farigola. It is a compact neighborhood of 35.8 hectares, home to 7,688 people in 2021. Historically it belonged to the municipality of Horta, and today it borders Vallcarca i els Penitents and La Salut in Gràcia, and La Teixonera and El Carmel in Horta-Guinardó.
The name comes from the sanctuary of the Mare de Déu del Coll, a church of Romanesque origin documented in the 11th century. Tradition says a wooden image of the Virgin was found in a ravine here. The Parc de la Creueta del Coll opened in 1987 in a disused quarry, to a design by Josep Martorell, Oriol Bohigas and David Mackay, with a lake that serves as a summer pool and Eduardo Chillida's concrete sculpture Elogi de l'aigua hanging from steel cables. Josep Maria Jujol left work here as well: the Finca Sansalvador, begun in 1909 and opened to visitors in 2013, and the Casa dels Metges.
Trips from El Coll start on sloping streets, so give a precise pickup: the street and number, or a landmark such as a park entrance. Add the date and time and the number of guests and bags, and a driver to the airport, the cruise port, a train at Sants or a day on the coast is quoted from there.

The listed address is Carrer del Santuari, 28-38, beside Plaça de Gibraltar.
