Zone: Ciutat Vella
Description of location: During the games of '92, the Villa Olimpica had to accommodate thousands of athletes and spectators, architects from all over the world were called in and designed modern and stylish buildings. Some of the main features are the towers at 142 meters high, the Arts Hotel in the Villa Olнmpica is surrounded by a steel frame, so it seems like it is in scaffolding. Another feature of this great area is the golden sculpture ‘Pez y Esfera’, designed by Frank Gehry, representing a headless fish, quite a sight!!.
A great feature of the area is being able to reach the beach in about 2 mins from the front door of the building....
The village also has a beautiful promenade which is full of sculptures and really nice for leisurely strolls at any time of the day but more so in the evening, this is a very lively neighborhood with lots of trendy restaurants and bars and the atmosphere is alive and palpable!!
Close by this lovely apartment you will find the Villa's shopping centre, which houses the 15 screen Icaria cinema (all movies are shown in original version!) as well as many restuarants, shops, supermarket and pretty much anything you may need.
