Knopf MapGuide: Barcelona

by Alfred A. Knopf Publishing

This opening fold-out contains a general map of Barcelona to help you visualize the 6 large districts discussed in this guide, and 4 pages of valuable information, handy tips and useful addresses.

Discover Barcelona through 6 districts and 6 maps

La Barceloneta/ El Born/ La Ciutat Vella
El Raval/ El Barrí Gótic/ La Ribera
Sarrià/ Pedralbes/ Sants
L’Eixample/ Gracià
Montjuic/ Poble Sec/ Sant Antoni
Port Olímpic/ Poblenou/ La Dreta del Eixample

For each district there is a double-page of addresses (restaurants — listed in ascending order of price — cafés, bars, music venues and stores) followed by a fold-out map for the relevant area with the essential places to see (indicated on the map by a star *). These places are by no means all that Barcelona has to offer but to us they are unmissable. The grid-referencing system ( A B2) makes it easy for you to pinpoint addresses quickly on the map.

Transportation and hotels in Barcelona
The last fold-out consists of a transportation map and 4 pages of practical information that include a selection of hotels.

A thematic index lists all the sites and addresses featured in this guide.

About the author

Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. is an American publishing house that was founded by Blanche Knopf and Alfred A. Knopf Sr. in 1915.

From the start, Knopf focused on European translations and high-brow works of literature. During World War I these books were cheap to obtain and helped establish Knopf as an American firm publishing European works.

In 1960, Random House acquired the Alfred A. Knopf publishing house. Knopf published textbooks until 1988, when Random House's schools and colleges division was sold to McGraw Hill.
