	Eixample - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Constructed in the 19th and early 20th centuries, some parts of the Eixample were heavily influenced by modernist architects, chief among whom is Antoni Gaudí.
		His work in the Eixample includes the Casa Milà (nicknamed La Pedrera) and the Casa Batlló, both of which are on the wide Passeig de Gràcia, as well as the Sagrada Familia.
		The Eixample is characterized by long straight streets, a strict grid pattern crossed by wide avenues, and truncated-square blocks (named illes in Catalan, manzanas in Spanish).

		The left of the Eixample was built slightly later than the right and is more residential and even working class in places.

	Ildefons Cerdà - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When the Spanish government of the time finally gave in to public pressure and allowed Barcelona's city walls to be torn down, he realized the need to plan the city's expansion so that the new extension would become an efficient and livable place, unlike the congested, epidemic-prone old town within the walls.
		He continued to create projects and improve existing designs throughout his lifetime, as well as to develop his theories taking on larger planning scopes (at regional planning level), until the very end.
		The Eixample was and still is inhabited by the well-to-do class instead of an inter-class integration.

	Eixample, Barcelona
		The district of Eixample (the name means "extension") extends in an arc round the old part of the city out as far as the foothills of Tibidabo and Carmel.
		The extension of the city into the Eixample district coincided with the development of modernisme.
		Also relevant is the fact that Spain was neutral in both world wars, while the Civil War (1936-39) was far from being able to inflict the same kind of damage as the bombing campaigns to which other Europeans countries were subjected from 1939 to 1945.

		The Eixample (pronounced Ai-sham-play) is Barcelona’s most upmarket neighbourhood, with its finest restaurants and designer boutiques and one of the greatest concentrations of art nouveau monuments in Europe.
		The Passeig de Gràcia is the heart of the Eixample, a glossy boulevard of chic boutiques lined with plane trees and twirling wrought-iron lamp-posts.
		Sadly, the squat pre-fab additions to the gardens are a sign of the lack of space which is forcing the hospital to consider new premises.

	Cerdà. The Barcelona Extension (Eixample)
		The Extension (Eixample) is an urban area of the highest quality, which epitomises the practical application of Cerdà's theories.
		Freedom for the individual privacy for the family, fresh air, sunlight and natural lighting for every home, equality of standards and service provision for every neighbourhood, and flow management as a crucial component of regional planning —these were just some of the holistic objectives of the complete, integrated city.
		The greatest tribute we can play to Ildefons Cerdà, a progressive thinker fired by the burning conviction that simple ideas can be the catalyst for great solutions, will be to revive interest, publicise his work and use it to help prevent disasters in an increasingly urbanised world.

		The old Eixample (Eixample = new suburb) was constructed in the 19th century and its main axle is the 'Rambla Nova'.
		The construction of this boulevard was very polemic, because the people of Tarragona thought it was too big and pretentious, but time has confirmed it as one of the most beautiful spaces in Tarragona.

		Keeping up with the spirit of discovering interesting places in Barcelona which are not always "the usual suspects", I decided to start with an exploration my new neighbourhood, the Esquerra Eixample, which seems to have a lot to offer.
		Ciutat Vella caters too much to tourists and it is difficult to find reasonable price/quality ratios, though there are some destination restaurants and some classics which you will enjoy for their character plus the advantage of being close to sights.
		In Sarrià, Eixample Dret and Gracia you can find nice restaurants too but the sheer variety of the Eixample Esquerra is unparalleled.
