Where to stay in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Sarrià-Sant Gervasi is a residential district first, and rooms are not its strength. Most visitors sleep in central Barcelona and come up to Sarrià and Sant Gervasi for the calmer streets around Sant Vicenç de Sarrià rather than for a bed. Beds run scarce.
Those who do stay swap the crowds of the centre for the settled quiet of the Bonanova.
