Carrer del Comte d'Urgel is the dividing line between the subdistricts "L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample" and "La Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample" which are both part of the greater Eixample District!
The Eixample district not only is the most iconic in Barcelona, it's also the most diverse in terms of things to do in Barcelona. Most of the famous Gaudí buildings like the Sagrada Familia or Casa Batlló are located at this district.
The gridlike layout is the symbol of the sunny and modern Barcelona we know today.

Antiga Esquerra is one of the liveliest neighborhoods of the Eixample. If you're looking for great, cozy spots to have drinks or dinner, head over to Enric Granados street.
On the other hand, streets like Aribau, Casanova and Muntaner and Plaça Universitat concentrate most of the bars and clubs. This area is also know as the "Gaixample".
Although not an official neighborhood, an area of this district (located between Gran Vía, Balmes and Aragó streets), has become a magnet for g*y tourism in Barcelona, resulting in the rise of several G*y friendly Hotels and a very extense offer of g*y clubs and bars.
Over the past two decades, the zone has seen the arrival of g*y shops, restaurants and nightclubs. Even so, the zone remains a multicultural and yet traditional neighborhood.

The Nova Esquerra neighborhood is located to the southwest of the Eixample district, limiting with Plaza España and Arenas shopping center.
It's a recommended place to stay in Barcelona if you're arriving by train or if you plan on doing sightseeing near Barcelona. Sants station, the largest train station in the city is located within this neighborhood.
