The wide and gorgeous Passeig de Gràcia stretches in the northwestern direction from Plaça Catalunya towards the edge of Eixample, Avinguda Diagonal, where Eixample ends and La Vila de Gràcia begins. Gaudí's most famous houses, Casa Batllò and La Pedrera, are found on Passeig de Gràcia as well.
Passeig de Gràcia had acquired its modern look by 1827. It is a wide tree-lined boulevard with the most exclusive brands and expensive shops you can find in Barcelona. Passeig de Gràcia intersects with one of the most important arteries of Barcelona besides Diagonal, Gran Vía de les Corts Catalanes. Walking along Passeig de Gràcia, you can rest on elaborate stone benches complete with street lamps designed by Pere Falqués and installed on the street in 1900.
