Are there enough guides about Barcelona? Perhaps guides about the unmissable bars, the most intriguing exhibitions of the month, or the most photographed alleys in the city abound, but there’s still something missing... Maybe it’s a guide to Barcelona’s business world? Let’s change that!
Barcelona hosts major companies and thousands of local and international businesses across its streets and districts. Today, however, we’ll focus on one of the city’s most significant business complexes: L’illa Diagonal.
👉🏼 If these topics interest you, the #LexingtonMagazine is your go-to guide.
Before diving in, let’s take a moment to explore Barcelona in its entirety. Like any great city, it’s brimming with activities and tourist attractions while captivating both visitors and locals with its architectural and cultural charm. But let’s cut to the chase: what’s to love, and what’s less enchanting?
✔️ Modernist architecture: Thank you, Gaudí, for gifting us the Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlló, and Casa Milà. And let’s not forget the Gothic Quarter with its enchanting medieval streets.
✔️ Culture and art: A visit to the Picasso Museum or MNAC is a must. For the modern art enthusiasts... the MACBA awaits!
✔️ Beach and mountains: A big city with both—what could be better?
✔️ Gastronomy: From tapas bars and bustling markets to Michelin-starred restaurants, Barcelona satisfies all palates.
✔️ Nightlife and leisure: The city never sleeps and offers something for every taste.
✔️ Mass tourism: Who wouldn’t want to visit such a magnificent city?
✔️ Cost of living: High housing and service costs can be a challenge for both locals and visitors.
✔️ Traffic and transportation: While the public transport system is excellent, traffic can be dense and chaotic.
Avenida Diagonal is more than just a street in Barcelona; it’s a lifeline connecting transportation, economy, education, culture, and urbanism. This makes it one of the most strategic and desirable locations for companies setting up in Barcelona.
