The Horta-Guinardó district, the third largest district of Barcelona, is surrounded by a magnificent landform consisting of mountains, hills and valleys, also by an abundance of green areas, the Horta-Guinardó district is one of the most attractive spots for people searching a peace and quiet place to stay in the Catalonian Capital. Situated in the north-east part of Barcelona, in a wide valley enclosed on both sides by hill and knolls, and by the Parc de Collserola to the north, in the Horta-Guinardó you can discover true gems of avant-garde architecture nestling on the hillsides of Barcelona. In contrast, in the old village, which only became a part of Barcelona in 1904, small squares and narrow streets remind us of its rural past. The district has outstanding green areas which include part of the Parc de Collserola, the Parc dels Tres Turons and the wonderful Parc del Laberint. The highest points in the area boast superb views of Barcelona; these include the Mirador d’Horta.
