Can Peguera
Walk along Carrer de Vila-seca and count the front gardens: the houses are a single storey and, according to the City Council, measure 40 or 60 square metres. The street runs about 524 metres between Carrer de Travau and Carrer de Capsec.
Can Peguera is, according to the City Council, the last living example of Barcelona's cases barates (“low-cost houses”): about 650 single-storey houses built between 1929 and 1932 to rehouse workers from the Montjuïc shacks, saved from the demolition planned since 1976 by a change of planning in 2015.
