Barcelona is one of the most important cities connecting the Mediterranean coast and Europe. It is the economic, administrative, and cultural capital of Catalonia. Its strategic location on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, and a well-established road network ensuring connections to the major European cities, makes it one of the best hubs for international investment in southern Europe. In all, Barcelona has ten districts, each of which preserves its own nature and character. Those who want to shelter businesses in an upscale district often look for the offices for rent in Eixample. This very neighbourhood is the result of one of the most splendid periods in the city's history. It is considered a so-called "uniform" district, because of its one-of-a-kind octagonal blocks - a typical feature of the local urban planning. Eixample was first of all regarded as a residential area. Yet, year by year it positions itself as a favourable business location. The office market in Eixample features an array of premises, of all the possible types and sizes. To be more precise, one can find hundreds of the office rental options here. Eixample is subdivided into two main subareas: Eixample Esquerra (left) and Eixample Dreta (right). However, in total, six different neighbourhoods make up this district. Tenants, who look for offices for rent in Eixample often specify their searches, choosing such areas as Rambla de Catalunya, Passeig de Gràcia, the Avinguda Gaudi(renowned streets in the central part of the district) and the vicinity of the Sagrada Familia. By the way, the latter is one of the calmest areas of Eixample, home to an array of family-run businesses.
