Best Barcelona-Sant Martí holiday apartments

Sant Martí de Provençals is a relatively pretty district of Barcelona in Spain. This area is slightly removed from the rest of the city. Indeed, it was comprised mainly of farms and countryside until as recently as the 1950s. If you’re looking for a quiet and serene place to base your visit to Barcelona, Sant Marti de Provencals could be ideal. Replete with tree-lined streets, green spaces and an unmistakable sense of local community, the area is in stark contrast to the bright lights and tourist attractions of the city centre. Staying in your own private holiday residence from 9flats will allow you to see this part of Barcelona at close-quarters.

Secluded and Well-Appointed Holiday Apartments in Sant Martí de Provençals

One of the most popular residential streets in this pretty area of the city is Rambla Prim. Many of Barcelona’s wealthier workers call this area home, and its laid-back atmosphere provides a welcome relief from the chaos of the city. At the heart of the neighbourhood is the beautiful Parc de Sant Martí. This is a fantastic place to enjoy leisurely strolls, people-watching or some quality time with friends and family. The park is also home to the Church of Sant Martí de Provençals and the stunning courtyard that adjoins it. If you’re a fan of the cinema, you’re in luck. One of Barcelona’s few English-speaking cinemas is only a short distance away on the Carrer Salvador Espriu. While there are several hotels in the area, few of them offer the level of luxury and seclusion a holiday apartment in Barcelona does.

Sample Local Life at First-Hand with Holiday Accommodation in Sant Martí de Provençals

If you’re looking for a vibrant night-life, you’ll probably have to take a taxi ride into the city. However, there are still a sprinkling of bars and local restaurants on Carrer de Treball. Particularly popular with local residents are El Ramblero and Sant Marti restaurants, which both serve up traditional Spanish fayre. One of this area’s big attractions amongst families and couples is its quiet, laid-back nature, and that means you will need to hop onto a Metro train if you’re in search of lively bars and clubs. A 10-minute journey on the ‘yellow’ line of the Metro will take you to Razzmatazz – one of Barcelona’s largest and most prestigious night venues. However, if you decide to stay in or around Sant Martí de Provençals, you’re probably doing so to get away from the boisterous night-life that Spain is so famous for. Renting holiday accommodation in Camp de L’arpa will not only give you a refuge away from the tourist throngs, it will put you at the heart of the local community, so you can live as the locals do.
