About Can Peguera
Where to stay in Can Peguera
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Rooms are rare. Can Peguera covers about twelve hectares of Nou Barris and keeps no hotel strip of its own, so guests looking at this corner of Barcelona generally book in the surrounding Nou Barris streets and travel in for the day. Sant Francesc Xavier is the point to steer by.
Anyone wanting a plain residential base in Catalonia, away from the sightseeing crowds, gets exactly that.
About Can Peguera
What are the main landmarks in Can Peguera?
Can Peguera's landmark count stops at one. Sant Francesc Xavier is the sole heritage entry recorded for Can Peguera, which gives the neighbourhood a single fixed point among its streets and makes it a plainer stretch than the monument-heavy centre of Barcelona. The rest is residential fabric.
Catalonia keeps its famous sights well outside these twelve hectares, and Nou Barris rewards a walk for its ordinary texture rather than for anything ticketed.
What is the history of Can Peguera?
Records here run thin. What the sources fix is administrative: Can Peguera belongs to the Nou Barris district of Barcelona, in Catalonia, and its twelve hectares carry one listed name, Sant Francesc Xavier. Bigger chronicles sit elsewhere.
No founding date is recorded for the neighbourhood, so its past reads through the growth of Nou Barris and of Barcelona around it rather than through dated events of its own.
Where is Can Peguera?
Can Peguera occupies roughly twelve hectares inside the Nou Barris district, a small patch of Barcelona whose one recorded landmark is Sant Francesc Xavier.
