L'Eixample is characterised by the endless parallel roads which run horizontally and vertically through the city at perfect 90 degree angles. The immense grid structure, consisting of 500 identical blocks, was designed by Ildefons Cerdà, one of the principal pioneers of contemporary urbanism. The rational, logistical structure of the Eixample area often gives you the sensation of being stuck within a massive chess board. The area is teaming with cultural and social activities. The area contains the highest concentration of Modernist architecture in the world. Virtually every street displays an example of its powerful influence. The private and public Modernist works are fascinating and provide Barcelona with a natural charm that can be found in few other cities. The curvy, sensual designs of the buildings have become the most symbolic feature of the city. It is easy to lose yourself within the dream-like, flowing design of the Modernist architecture. The beautiful Passeig de Gracia is the main promenade of The Eixample and it runs from the top of Plaça Catalunya to the Diagonal.
