Sant Gervasi-Galvany was part of the former borough of Sant Gervasi de CAssoles, independent until the late 19th century. Belonging to the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district, the area surrounding the Galvany market –or Santaló street- is famous because of its nightlife, that attracts mostly the upper class. As well as restaurants, night bars and discos, in the area we also find a high concentration of shops.
