The “Passeig de Gràcia” and the “Rambla Catalunya” are the main thoroughfares in the “Eixample”, the district that was planned in the 19th century to enlarge the old city area, containing several works of Antoni Gaudi. Barcelona affords countless possibilities for recreation. Over 40 museums: monographic art collections such as the “Museu Picasso”, the “Fundació Joan Miró” and the “Fundació Antoni Tàpies”
