El Farró along Carrer Saragossa

Favorites

The neighbourhood's historic centre is in Plaça de Mañé i Flaquer and the streets around the square. This is a quiet, friendly area with low houses.

Urban spaces

Once you cross the Ronda del General Mitre, you leave the mountain behind and head into the Plain of Barcelona. The calm of El Putxet gives way to El Farró, a more working-class neighbourhood. Carrer Saragossa is the backbone of this neighbourhood. The other streets and squares branch off it, like Carrer de Pàdua, Carrer de Septimània and Carrer del Francolí, and Plaça de Mañé i Flaquer, down Carrer dels Santjoanistes. The centuries-old façades are tastefully decorated, such as that of number 112, adorned with floral motifs, and the house on the corner of Carrer de Septimània, with plaster surrounds around the windows, which have sinuous shapes, and wrought-iron railings. A little further down, at number 109, there is a house with a more robust appearance: the date plaque by the staircase tells us that it is one of the oldest on the street.
