Vallcarca metro station

Vallcarca i els Penitents is a neighbourhood in the northernmost part of Gràcia, a district of Barcelona. Locked between two hills, Putget and El Coll, it grew out of a few scattered settlements, namely L'Hostal de la Farigola, Can Falcó, Can Mas and Can Gomis. The Parish Church, Virgen de Gracia y San José, popularly known as the “Josepets,” is the location of a Traditional Latin Mass, authorised by bishop Reig Casanova in 2021.

El Putxet i Farró (not el Putget i el Farró) is a neighbourhood in the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district of Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain), located on a hill between Vallcarca and Sant Gervasi, urbanised after the 1870s. It is formed by two quarters, the former neighborhoods of el Putxet and el Farró. The primarily residential neighborhood Putxet is named after the hill (elevation 178 m (584 ft)) on which it is located (El turó del Putxet in Catalan meaning the knoll of the hill). The uppermost part of the hill is covered by the public park 'gardens of the hill of Putxet' (Parc del Turó del Putxet in Catalan, see image). This park was inaugurated in 1970 and covers 3.97 hectares. The residential neighbourhood of El Farró is considered by its residents to be very family friendly. Several activities are organized throughout the year in one of its squares, such as food markets, music performances and events for kids during important festivities. The atmosphere is similar to the one of a small town, thanks to its small streets and low buildings. Most of its streets have undergone a renovation in the last few years to become more adapted to pedestrians, eliminating parking spots and considerably reducing the circulating traffic. El Farró is limited by main busy streets and two main squares (Plaça de Lesseps and Plaça Molina), thus making it an oasis in the center of a bustling area of the city. Several transportation options, restaurants and basic stores are available at a very short walking distance. Fans of modernist architecture can find "Cases Ramos" in Plaça de Lesseps, three lesser known but still very impressive modernist apartment buildings, built in 1906 by the architect Jaume Torras i Grau.

The line is currently divided in two branches, with a connecting segment between them yet to be built. The Aeroport T1 – Zona Universitària section is called L9 South (L9 Sud in Catalan), and the La Sagrera – Can Zam section L9 North (L9 Nord in Catalan). Upon completion, it will be the longest underground metro line in Europe.

Plaça de Lesseps is a square serving as the border between the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi and Gràcia district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, loosely divided in two parts. One of the most heavily transited squares in the city, Lesseps is the starting point of one of Barcelona's busiest rondes: Ronda del General Mitre, as well as being the west end of Carrer Gran de Gràcia and being crossed by a number of streets, namely: Travessera de Dalt, Avinguda del Príncep d'Astúries, Avinguda de Vallcarca, Avinguda de la República Argentina, Carrer del Torrent de l'Olla, Carrer de la Mare de Déu del Coll, Carrer de Santa Perpètua, Carrer de Maignon and Carrer de Pérez Galdós. A traditionally arbored spot of the city, it has seen heavy construction works for years to move the route of the aforementioned rondes, allowing the square to become a more pedestrian-friendly place while easing the heavy traffic that crosses it on a daily basis. The square is named after Ferdinand de Lesseps, the developer of the Suez Canal. Earlier in his career, De Lesseps was the French consul in Barcelona. He is known in Barcelona for having intervened against the 1842 bombing of the city ordered by General Baldomero Espartero and Captain-General Juan Van Halen. Before 1895 the square had been known as Josepets, after the 1626 convent of Santa Maria de Gràcia, also known as Els Josepets", which remained a popular name for the square, although now outdated.
