Barcelona Off the Beaten Path Tips by Lemonita

We went to the Tourism Office and got a Barcelona map. On it we could find different touristic spots as well as a few of Gaudi's work. We were walking in the Eixample district and looked for Casa Calvet (Carrer de Casp, 48).

It cannot be visited because it's a residence now.

I have to say that this is the most hospital I have ever seen in my life ! Hospital de Sant Pau has been built around 600 years ago and yet is still fully operational as a hospital today.

After visiting Sagrada Familia and having lunch, we decided to walk around in the neighbourhoods and it lead us to this impressive structure. We found out on the map that it was a hospital ! We went inside for a quick tour because we thought that it might be an old hospital, not operational anymore, and to our surprise, it was still operating.

Hospital de Sant Pau is formed by different buildings. During our rapid visit, I felt uneasy, walking around with my camera and taking pictures of the architecture while people were going there to be treated for their sickness... I tried to be the most discreet possible !

Address : Carrer Sant Antoni Maria Claret
