About Barrio Gótico
The old town of Barcelona, known as Cuitat Vella, is divided into different areas such as El Born and El Raval, but perhaps the most emblematic district in Cuitat Vella, Barcelona is the Gothic Quarter. However, looking for real estate in this area can be quite tricky especially when you are not familiar with the area, so it is best to work with a team like us, who have a deep understanding and can therefore guide you to make the best decision for you.
The Gothic Quarter, also known as Barrio Gótico in Spanish or Barrí Gòtic in Catalán, is the heart of the city of Barcelona. Stretching from La Rambla to Via Laietana and from the seafront to Ronda de Sant Pere, many of the buildings in the Gothic Quarter are from Medieval times with some even dating right back to the Roman times. There are also parts of the old Roman wall that are visible in different areas of the Gothic Quarter.
One may notice the increase in refurbished apartments in the Gothic Quarter, however the supply of these is quite limited due to the extensive process in obtaining a license to renovate. As a consequence of this, the level of pricing has been stable but possibly more so due to this limited supply. Either way, the stock of Gothic quarter real estate for sale can be quite impressive and a great investment. Our advice to buyers is that if you find a property in this area, grab it with both hands!
Owning a home in the Gothic part of Spain opens the doors to a plethora of possibilities. Investors wishing to rent their Gothic quarter properties out will have no problem at all in getting a significant return on their investment. On the other hand, those who wish to use the property themselves, will be able to enjoy all of the benefits this Quarter has to offer including shops, bars and restaurants all within walking distance!
