Pedralbes was the home of the Infanta Cristina of Spain from 2004 to 2013. [1]
The Lycée Français de Barcelone, a French international school, is located in Pedralbes.[2]
Pedralbes was completely transformed beginning in the 1940s with the urbanisation of the area.[3] Pedralbes is today Barcelona's most upmarket residential area, with large mansions surrounded by gardens, around Avinguda de Pearson, or isolated luxury apartment blocks, around Avinguda de Pedralbes.[4]
