Plaça de Catalunya is the “center” of Barcelona. At least when you arrive at the airport all the signs lead you there, and the aerobus will drop you off at Plaza Catalunya as well. As it is perceived so touristic and hectic, local Barcelona people mostly avoid being there.

To start the day with a morning coffee and to remember how beautiful the city is, I think this is your address.
