Desert Glow

Desert Glow: Catalonia

With its sand-coloured, textured paint, wood floors, boho rugs and lantern-lined walls, this home on the edge of Barcelona’s Eixample neighborhood exudes desert-like tranquility. Open the living room’s French doors to sip your morning coffee on the balcony, then enjoy a luxurious shower in the beachy bathroom. You can catch up on work in the arty office, or head straight out to see the sights. With El Raval’s edgy street art and Ciutat Vella’s gothic mansions both walkable in fifteen minutes and Barceloneta Beach a short cycle away, this home is perfectly located to enjoy both the city centre and coast. After a day exploring, come home for drinks on the balcony while a record plays, followed by a meal in your stylish kitchen. Alternatively, head out to sample Barcelona’s buzzing nightlife before coming home to the calm comfort of your earthy, balcony-boasting bedrooms.
