Avinguda de Gaudí versus nearby blocks: metro, nightlife and slope
The short answer
Avinguda de Gaudí suits visitors who want Cartagena metro 136 m away and Sant Pau Recinte Modernista 370 m away, with six mapped hotels within 500 m. Skip it if you want few bars or level walking: 10 venues are mapped within 250 m and sampled elevation spans 46 m to 89 m. The catch is that the venue count is a proxy, not measured sound, and ring samples are not named streets.

Who it suits, who should skip it
Good for
- Visitors who want Cartagena metro 136 m away and Sant Pau Recinte Modernista a 7-minute walk away
- Travellers comparing the three mapped hotels clustered between 174 m and 241 m of the anchor
- Guests comfortable with a medium level of mapped bars and pubs nearby
- Anyone weighing the lower south-east and south samples, at 46 m and 48 m, against the avenue
Skip it if
- You want the fewest mapped bars: no sampled direction maps fewer than 3 within 250 m
- You need a measured guarantee of low sound levels, which this data cannot give
- You want every walk level: sampled elevation runs from 46 m to 89 m
- Your trip centres on the old city, which this guide does not cover
Which blocks to weigh around the avenue
Six hotels are mapped within 500 m of the anchor. The closest are Hotel Medicis at 174 m, htop BCN City at 202 m and Hotel Everest at 241 m, each three to four minutes away on foot by estimate. Mh Apartments Family is 277 m away, Hotel ILUNION Bel Art 408 m and the entry named Sagrada Familia 453 m. Names, addresses and attributes are as tagged in OpenStreetMap and are not verified.
Against nearby blocks, the anchor sits at 62 m. The south-east and south samples read 46 m and 48 m with 3 mapped bars each, while the west sample reads 73 m with 5. Those samples are compass measurement points, not identified streets, so read them only as the direction of a trade-off.
Metro and walking times from the anchor
Cartagena metro station is 136 m from the anchor, about a 3-minute walk. The source records no line information, so check the operator's map for which lines serve it. Walk times here are estimates from the anchor with a fixed detour allowance, not hotel-to-station or routed journeys.
On foot, Sant Pau Recinte Modernista is 370 m away, a 7-minute walk, and Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau is 513 m, 9 minutes. Basílica de la Sagrada Família is 651 m, 11 minutes. Allow extra time for crossings and the real street layout, which these estimates do not model.
Noise at night: what the map shows
Within 250 m of the anchor, OpenStreetMap maps 9 bars, 1 pub and no nightclubs, 10 venues in total, which is a medium level on our scale. This is a count of mapped venues used as a proxy. It does not measure sound, opening hours or what a particular room hears.
The ring samples range from 3 to 6 mapped venues within 250 m. The north-east sample has the most at 6 and the west sample has 5, while the south-east, south, south-west and north-west samples each have 3. Ask any hotel about room orientation before choosing, because the map cannot show it.
Hills and walking around the avenue
Sampled elevation runs from 46 m to 89 m across the ring, a 43 m spread, with the anchor at 62 m. The highest sample is north-west at 89 m and the lowest is south-east at 46 m. This is a sampled range, not the climb of any route and not an accessibility measure.
Cartagena metro sits at 59 m, a 3 m difference from the anchor, so the short walk to the station is close to level by this data. The east and south samples sit near 48 m, while west and north-west rise to 73 m and 89 m. Actual gradients depend on the route, which this data does not show.

- Night-noise risk counts places tagged as bars, pubs and nightclubs in OpenStreetMap within 250 m: low under 8, medium from 8 or with any nightclub, high from 25 or with 3 nightclubs. It counts mapped venues; it does not measure sound.
- Walking times take the straight-line distance, add 30% for the street network and assume 80 m a minute, rounded up. They are estimates, not routes.
- Climb is the spread between the highest and the lowest sampled point in Copernicus DEM GLO-90 via the Open-Meteo Elevation API. Terrain models average the ground into cells, so a few metres either way are within their error.
- Searched on 13 Oct 2026: the metro within 1.2 km, hotels within 500 m. A place missing from OpenStreetMap is missing here too.

Hotel Medicis is nearest at 174 m, a 3-minute walk, followed by htop BCN City at 202 m and Hotel Everest at 241 m. Six hotels are mapped within 500 m. Names and attributes are as tagged and not verified, so check details with each property.
Is Avinguda de Gaudí hilly?
Sampled elevation across the ring runs from 46 m to 89 m, a 43 m range, with the anchor at 62 m. That is a spread of sample points, not the climb of a route, so it says little about any single walk.
