Walking around is fascinating for the pearls of architecture to be found and the quietness in most of the area. Eixample was developed in the second half of the 19th century in order to cope with the expansion of Barcelona's medieval walls by Ildefons Cerdà. Originally, he planned a grid structure for the streets, where all crossings should turn into little squares where children could play. It should have accomodated people of all kinds of background. This was never realized. The streets are square but the crossings are just spacious crossings, while the neighbourhood developed into a fancy area for the rich. The latter could afford Modernista architects which turned some of the buildings into unique architectural marvels.
