The Eixample (Catalan pronunciation: [əˈʃampɫə], Catalan for 'wider part') is a district of Barcelona between the old city (Ciutat Vella) and what were once surrounding small towns (Sants, Gràcia, Sant Andreu etc.), constructed in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Its population was 262,485 at the last census (2005).
There are six administrative neighborhoods:
Architecture and design
The Eixample is characterized by long straight streets, a strict grid pattern crossed by wide avenues, and square blocks with chamfered corners (named illes in Catalan, manzanas in Spanish). This was a visionary, pioneering design by Ildefons Cerdà, who considered traffic and transport along with sunlight and ventilation in coming up with his characteristic octagonal blocks, where the streets broaden at every intersection making for greater visibility, better ventilation and (today) some short-stay parking space. The grid pattern remains as a hallmark of Barcelona, but many of his other provisions were ignored: the four sides of the blocks and the inner space were built instead of the planned two or three sides around a garden; the streets were narrower; only one of the two diagonal avenues was carried out; the inhabitants were of a higher class than the mixed composition dreamed of by Cerdà. The important needs of the inhabitants were incorporated into his plan, which called for markets, schools, hospitals every so many blocks. Today, most of the markets remain open in the spots they have been from the beginning.

Playing In The Shadows
by: ExampleI got someone waiting at home for me, staring at the door
And I don't wanna stay in the zone til 3, all those calls ignored
Tomorrow she'll probably disown me, happy no more
Keep falling into shadow
Im playing in the shadows all night long
So good to play with bad girls, I'm still young
They keep on saying hello, I know what they want
You'll find me in the shadow.
She's always ringing my phone you see, laying down the law
Keep trying to speak to her honestly, so she knows the score
Maybe one day I'll be lonely, knocking down the door
Keep falling into shadows
Im playing in the shadows all night long
So good to play with bad girls, I'm still young
They keep on saying hello, I know what they want
You'll find me in the shadow.
You'll find me in the shadow.
There's someone waiting at home for me, staring at the door.
And I don't wanna stay in the zone til 3, all those calls ignored
Tomorrow she'll probably disown me, happy no more
Keep falling into shadow
Playing in the shadows (x4)
People call it shallow
Tell me something I don't know (x3)
Playing in the shadows, people call it shallow
Tell me something I don't know
Maybe one day I'll be lonely, knocking down the door
Keep falling into shadows
Im playing in the shadows all night long
So good to play with bad girls, I'm still young
They keep on saying hello, I know what they want
You'll find me in the shadow
You'll find me, find me, find me
You'll find me in the shadow
You'll find me, find me, find me
You'll find me in the shadow
