Horta-Guinardó
Horta-Guinardó is the name of one of the districts of Barcelona, located in its North-Eastern corner. It is named after two very heterogeneous areas of the city, Horta and el Guinardó, which together cover a large area of 11.92 km², which sums up for the 11,9% of the total extension of the city.
A former municipality that eventually became part of the city in the late 19th century, it is bordered by five out of ten districts of Barcelona ( Gràcia, Nou Barris, Eixample, Sant Andreu and Sant Martí), and by two other municipalities of the metropolitan area ( Sant Cugat and Cerdanyola del Vallès). It didn't undergo a massive urbanisation process until the 1950s.
