Church of Sant Pacià

I love going out in mega-touristic Barcelona, wandering around and discovering the virtually unknown, almost virgin, areas of the city. This is what happened when I stumbled upon the Sant Pacia church, which is located in the traditional Sant Andreu del Palomar neighborhood.

San Andreu del Palomar used to be another one of the “pueblos” surrounding central Barcelona, but it was pretty much absorbed by the vibrant city and is now a perfectly integrated neighborhood. Due to its “unknown” feeling, San Andreu has managed to conserve its beauty and quaintness of its simple houses and narrow streets. The neighborhood actually looks a lot like the Gracia neighborhood.
