HE ZONA ALTA
(Uptown) is an area covering several neighbourhoods that,
as the name suggests, are in the hilly part of the city. From the moneyed
streets of Pedralbes and Tibidabo to bohemian Gràcia, this entire northern
area of the city offers stunning views and regal attractions. But what really
sets this area apart from the rest of the city is its 15 parks; the best are
Gaudí's stunning and imaginative Parc Güell, and the colossal natural park
of Collserolla, which spreads out like green baize over Tibidabo mountain.
Gràcia stands out as the city's most cosmopolitan neighbourhood. Its strong
political tradition and gypsy community have long drawn artists and writers
to the labyrinthine streets, and it is now home to scores of innovative
boutiques, bars and squares, which teem with life most nights of the week.
