Chic Rentals La Latina - Cava Alta
We are very familiar with the Latin Quarter! Lavapies, the Latin Quarter, is a place that many Chinese students are very familiar with. It may be the first stop for many of us when we arrive in Spain, and it seems to have become an exclusive community for Chinese people: affordable Chinese-owned stores, familiar Chinese restaurants... This is thanks to the unique multiculturalism and inclusiveness of this area.
Sants, Barcelona
The process of "gentrification" in the city of Barcelona seems to have not changed the rebellious side of this neighborhood. Although many people have been displaced from their former homes or workshops, the imprint of the old district remains unmistakable: La Tere restaurant has made it into the food guide, and Plaça Osca square has become a new hub of activity.
Pension San Sebastian Centro
The Old Town area (Parte Vieja) of San Sebastian has places where one can drink and eat pinchos, but why do locals prefer Gros area? The reason is simple - as one of Spain's tourist cities, the Old Town of San Sebastian has become the "new town" for tourists, losing some of its old town flavor. To truly taste the authentic Spanish pintxopote, locals still prefer to come to Gros.
Cullera Beach Apartment
The Cabanyal neighborhood in Valencia is a legendary part of the city. Due to its proximity to the sea, it is home to many fishermen. However, the government decided to demolish this residential area in order to expand the Blasco Ibanez avenue to reach the seaside. Thanks to the joint opposition of the local residents and the grassroots organization Salvem el Cabanyal, the government had to give up on their plans. This neighborhood can be considered as Spain's "most stubborn holdout".
Enjoy Malaga Lagunillas
The prosperity of Laguinillas neighborhood is completely due to the economic crisis! Because of the economic crisis, all the beautiful blueprints painted by the government for this declining community seem to have vanished, but the residents themselves picked up their paintbrushes and miraculously added a different shine to this community: they spontaneously raised money to renovate a large number of dilapidated houses, attracting a large number of urban artists to graffiti and paint on these buildings - Gypsy troubadours, women selling handmade combs... These common cultural characters have become the new guardians of the neighborhood!
El Castillo
The biggest feature of the El Castillo neighborhood is its height! It's really high and it's the kind of high that requires climbing hills! Previously this neighborhood was where the poor lived, and tourists would usually only park here... Is it because of the high altitude that cars are less likely to be stolen?
