Many of the inhabitants in Gracia even today would still prefer to refer to themselves as Graciencs rather than Barceloneces, which is just one in a number of things that give this area its charm. Gracia is very famous for its large selection of small one-of designer boutiques and handicraft stores, displaying the best of the local handicraft and trade. If you want to find something truly unique to bring home from your travels, Gracia is the place to look.
