The Sants/Hostafrancs neighborhood is a great location close to the main train station of Barcelona. Our home is also about a 7 minute walk to Plaza España and close to the red, blue, and green metro lines, making it easy to access any part of the city. On the weekends, the main street next to our house (Carrer de Sants, the longest shopping street in Europe) closes to traffic and often has fairs and pop-up markets. There are tons of great restaurants, bars, tourist attractions, parks and playgrounds, and generally a wonderful family atmosphere.
