Diagonal Avenue is one of the longest in the city, approximately 11 kilometers. It was designed by the engineer Ildefons Cerdà, who devised the great project of renovation of the city.

It receives its name because it divides the city from west to east in two. Along this avenue we can find historic buildings, shops, restaurants, businesses, literally everything you need for your next audiovisual project.

This avenue is famous because it joins two architectural gems of the city, the Sagrada Familia and the Hospital de Sant Pau, two perfect examples of Catalan modernism. The design of its modernist style lights with gothic airs in conjunction with its benches, bollards and terraces of the street bars.

It has a spacious central stretch of sidewalk that makes it an avenue that is worth walking.
