About this place
This charming apartment with a built area of 36 m² is situated in one of Barcelona’s most iconic neighbourhoods, La Barceloneta. Housed in a traditional building, it retains original architectural features, including high Catalan vaulted ceilings and exposed wooden beams, paired with original terracotta flooring, creating a unique personality that embodies the essence of traditional Barcelona.
The living room and bedroom are currently integrated into a bright, spacious open-plan layout, maximising natural light while providing a pleasant sense of space. There is potential to easily redistribute the layout to restore a separate bedroom, offering versatility to adapt the property according to your needs.
The apartment features a well-equipped kitchen, complete with an oven, gas hob, extractor hood, dishwasher, refrigerator, washing machine, and reverse osmosis water filtration system. Additionally, it benefits from air conditioning, natural gas heating with a boiler, and a built-in wardrobe. The building has successfully passed the Technical Building Inspection (ITE), which adds important value to the property. Located on a quiet pedestrian street away from the usual tourist flow, it is just a few minutes from the beach, seafront promenade, Port Vell, Passeig Joan de Borbó, and the L4 Metro station in Barceloneta, allowing for excellent connections to the rest of the city.

Spain welcomes foreign buyers with no nationality restrictions. The buyer needs an NIE (Número de Identidad de Extranjero) before completion, and most buyers open a Spanish bank account to handle the deposit and ongoing charges. An independent lawyer (abogado) is strongly recommended — the notario only checks the deed, not the wider title.
Spain ended its Golden Visa property route in April 2025.
Non-resident mortgages are widely available, typically 60–70% LTV.
Non-resident sellers face a 3% withholding from the sale price (retención), claimable against capital gains tax.
Always check community-of-owners (comunidad) debts and outstanding IBI before completion — they transfer with the property.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
