L'Eixample is Valencia's planned expansion district with wide tree-lined boulevards and elegant 19th-century architecture. Split into El Pla del Remei (upscale shopping) and Gran Vía (more residential). It offers the best of both worlds — central location with residential calm. The Mercado de Colón (a stunning Modernista market hall) is the neighborhood's living room.
