Gràcia grew around a Carmelite convent founded in 1626 near today's Plaça de Lesseps. It became a separate municipality in 1850, with 13,548 inhabitants, and was annexed by Barcelona in 1897.1 Its first match factory was the first in the Barcelonès, and textile mills replaced home weaving.1 Today it is a district of five barris and more than 120,000 people, the smallest by area at 4.2 km².2

The old Vila de Gràcia is built around squares rather than a grid. The first market was on Plaça de la Llibertat, the town hall went up on Plaça del Rellotge, and Plaça de la Virreina is also known as Plaça de Sant Joan.1 Several cafés face one of the squares; the rest line Carrer de l'Escorial, Gran de Gràcia and Travessera de Gràcia.

Local tip: SlowMov on Carrer de Neptú closes at 14:30 on weekdays and 15:00 on Saturday, so make it a morning stop; Salvatge on Carrer del Penedès serves specialty coffee until 23:00.
