Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
People stay in Diagonal Mar for one very clear reason – the sea. There are a few nice places to eat and shop, but nothing compared to the riches of Eixample, leaving The Sound of Crashing Waves as a home that will appeal to those who come to the city for a proper holiday. The interior design is minimal but does wonder together with the natural light, and the wrap-around balcony. The sleek and well-equipped kitchen will make for great cooking, and, if you need to get some work done, there's a little nook for that, too.

"We have used Plum Guide a few times and have always found the places we stayed and the Plum Guide service excellent from start to finish. Recently we rented an apartment in Venice. The apartment was perfect for our needs - well appointed, comfortable beds, right number of bathrooms, lovely kitchen and living areas. The location was also perfect for us - quiet neighbourhood but close to everything - quick access to 2 vaparetto stops and easy walks to almost everywhere Plum Guide service was, as usual, excellent"

About Diagonal Mar
Barcelona is famous for its sandy beaches whose marine smells and sounds are considered a true luxury in an urban area. The beaches of Diagonal Mar attract many cruise-ships whose guests sip cocktails on the long boardwalk, dotted with clubs and restaurants. But this area is more than its beachfront – a discerning eye will see beyond its biggest attraction and discover a historically rich and soulful neighborhood that feels much less touristy and boasts some of the most popular local hangouts right behind it.
