Essentials about Avinguda Diagonal in brief

If you want to discover Barcelona motorized and drive straight for as long as possible, you should drive down the Avinguda Diagonal. It is one of the most important and best-known streets in the city. The 11-kilometer-long arterial road runs straight through the city from the Jardins de Cervantes in the southwest to Plaça de Llevant in the northeast. The name Avinguda Diagonal comes from the fact that the street’s core cuts diagonally through Barcelona’s checkerboard street pattern. The street was planned in 1859 as a traffic route to Madrid. Since the beginning of the 20th century, it has increasingly been considered a noble residential address; the area west of the intersection with the magnificent boulevard Passeig de Gràcia is particularly favored. There are numerous commercial buildings, hotels and luxury stores.
