EL BAIX GUINARDÓ

Baix Guinardó is a neighborhood with its own personality within the Guinardó district. Today it has, for the most part, an expansion configuration, although there are still some small passages and corners that remind us of the past, when small towers with small orchards predominated.
One of the most characteristic urban elements of Baix Guinardó is the Aigües park. The property was owned by the company Aigües de Barcelona, which used it as a garden, a nursery for exotic trees, a water reservoir for the city's consumption and the residence of the company's president. This residence was the Casa de les Altures, a unique 19th century building in Arabic style, erected at one end of the estate. The former garden was transformed into a public park in the 1970s, and the residence, restored in the late 1980s, became the district's headquarters.
The neighborhood still resembles a village in many ways, with lifelong people, a family atmosphere and small stores. It is a quiet and safe neighborhood, with public transportation.
