The Barcelona Barri Gothic area is also known as the Gothic Quarter and is the area in which the old town of Barcelona is situated. The streets vary considerably in style but the old quarter is generally characterized by narrow cobbled streets with tall old buildings. Last time when I visit Barcelona I booked a room in one of the hotels in Barcelona right in the center of the Gothic Town - wanting to be close to everything. Picasso lived and worked in Barri Gotic from 1895 to 1904 and Joan Miró was born and lived here during his youth.Today the Barri Gòtic is mainly pedestrianized, with many shops selling fashion goods, jewelry, antiques, books, souvenirs, ceramics, textiles, leather goods, etc.; there are also a number of small bars and restaurants.
