In short
The window facing Calle Marina gets the most direct sun: 1,469 hours a year, twice as much as the window facing the lightwell (668 h).
In its favour
1,469 hours of direct sun a year at the window facing Calle Marina, with 3 h 31 min on 20 March. See the sun
Roof terrace: it has sun at lunchtime in winter (100% of the time, 2 to 4 pm), when it's most welcome. See the sun
Outside the official 10, 100 and 500-year flood zones in Barcelona. See the risks
Worth bearing in mind
The window facing the lightwell gets no direct sun in December. That is not darkness: the light of the sky still comes in. See the sun
The building is inside the low-emission zone “ZBE Rondes de Barcelona” (Barcelona): it restricts access for vehicles without a label (A). See the neighbourhood
1 tourist-use flat is registered in the building. See the building

Minutes during which direct sun, with nothing in the way, lights the centre of the window from outside. Clock time, with daylight saving applied.
We measure direct sun, not daylight. Without direct sun, a room can still have good natural light: the light of the sky comes in anyway. A window onto a wide street or a spacious courtyard often has good light even without direct sun.

On an average July day the glass receives 2.1 kWh/m², and 0.3 kWh/m² on an average January day.
On an average July day, 0.7 h of direct sun coincide with a street above 28 °C.
The measured terrain is from 2022. We have added what was finished afterwards and changes the sun in this area (Sagrada Família: its central towers, up to 172.5 m) at their official height with an approximate shape.
In a narrow lightwell the calculation is indicative: nearby walls are harder to measure.
According to the Cadastre, within 100 m there's a building from 2022. It's newer than the relief survey (2022) we use to calculate the sun: the calculation may not see it. If it's in front of your windows, check its shadow at the viewing.
What this means and what it doesn't
This is how much sun reaches the window, not the temperature of the flat: we do not know the size or type of glass, or whether there are awnings, shutters, insulation or air conditioning. The temperature is the area's (ERA5, cells of about 25 km), not the street's: on the coast it falls short.
Compared with the CTE. Spain's building code (CTE DB-HE) limits July solar gain in new homes to 2.00 kWh per m² of floor area per month, with solar protection in place; it cannot be compared with these figures, which are per m² of glass and without protection.
The marks on the bars show where the medium and high levels start in July (2.3 and 3.7) and the high level in January (2.5).
What it's based on. A 3D model of the whole block, at centimetre scale, and the sun's position minute by minute throughout the year. Typical margin: ±5 min a day.
Each clock is what the window sees. The edge is the horizon and the centre, the highest point of the sky. In slate grey, the buildings and trees that block the sky. The arc is the path of the sun on 20 March; the Roman numerals mark where it is each hour, in rust red when it shines on the window.
Roof terrace
The sun where you would sit: on the balcony, terrace or roof you chose. It is measured like a window, but at the spot where you sit or lean out, and it is also counted for mealtimes.

kWh per m² of horizontal surface, on an average day
On an average July day, the roof terrace receives 6.8 kWh/m² and, on a January one, 2.2 kWh/m².
On an average July day, 3.0 h of direct sun coincide with a street above 28 °C.
Where it is measured and how to read the heat
The sun is measured at a single point: 1.5 m from the facade and 1.2 m above the floor, like a person sitting or leaning out; on the roof, at the centre of the roof. We cannot see the real depth of the balcony or the balcony of the flat above.
This is the sun the space receives, not its temperature: it does not count awnings, plants or parasols. A roof gets the sun on a horizontal surface, so its figures and levels cannot be compared with those of a window. On the roof, which gets the sun on a horizontal surface, the marks show where the medium and high levels start in July (4.0 and 6.5) and the high level in January (2.0).
Noise on the façade
Real data
At night, the façade onto Calle Marina gets the noise of a street with quite a lot of traffic (60–64 dB). That is above the 45 dB at night the WHO recommends.
At night, the façade onto the lightwell gets very low noise, below that of a quiet street (35–39 dB). That is below the 45 dB at night the WHO recommends.
Inside, with the windows closed, you hear quite a lot less.

Where the decibels come from and what they don't say
Level from the 2022 strategic noise map 1–3 m from each façade, in 5 dB bands: daytime (7 am to 9 pm) and night-time (11 pm to 7 am). It's a model of traffic and other sources, not a measurement in the flat; closed windows reduce it a lot.

In the census tractListed on platforms
The INE counts 21 tourist flats advertised on platforms in its census section (2.2% of its homes, 81 beds), as of May 2026.
"Registered" means entered in the region's tourism register: flats let without registration do not appear. They are matched by the building's address: an entrance with a letter or bis can be confused with the next one. The floor and door are compared with the register's: if it writes them differently, a match can be missed. The INE figures are platform listings, registered or not.

The air of this street has moderate pollution, mostly from traffic: it meets today's legal limit, but not the stricter one that applies from 2030.
The WHO 2021 guideline is a health reference, stricter than the law, and here it is exceeded for NO₂, PM2.5 and PM10.

Where the data comes from and what it does not say
The area value comes from an official model with 1 km cells: it describes the air of the neighbourhood, not at the door; next to a busy road, NO₂ can be considerably higher. The references are the 2021 WHO guidelines, the limit the EU will apply from 2030 (Directive 2024/2881) and the one in force today. A figure less than 10% above a limit is called "close": that is less than the error of a model. For the flat's street, the 2024 map by Barcelona City Council and the Barcelona Public Health Agency takes precedence: it is per street section, in concentration bands, and it includes the street's traffic. A monitoring station gives a measured value (annual mean), but it describes where it stands, not the flat.

Stressed residential market area
In a stressed zone
The municipality of Barcelona is declared a stressed residential market area (Catalonia), valid from 16 March 2024 to 15 March 2027.
In a declared area, new residential leases may have their rent capped according to the reference index and the rules of Law 12/2023: large landlords (here, anyone owning 5 or more urban residential properties) are held to the index and, in general, everyone else to the rent of the previous lease on that home, updated. There are exceptions and nuances. This is general information, not legal advice: for a specific lease, ask a professional or the authorities.
On 28 July 2026 the Generalitat announced a review of the list of municipalities (a one-year extension, with some leaving and others joining) that is not yet in force: it may change before March 2027.

Range from the Ministry's SERPAVI database for your census tract (apartment block; 202 existing leases declared in 2024): €1,290 to €1,880 a month for 107 m², with a median of €1,520.
This is the range published by census tract, with no adjustments and with 2024 leases. The index for a specific home is looked up at serpavi.mivau.gob.es, with its features, and may give a different figure. In a declared area the official index for that home rules, with the rules above; this figure is only indicative and is not a legal maximum price. The estimated rent for this flat (€1,800/month) does not exceed the top of the range (€1,880/month).

Where the estimate comes from
Estimated rent: the €/m² of new contracts in the la Sagrada Família neighbourhood (2T 2025–1T 2026, Incasòl deposits) times the 107 m² in the land registry; the range is the spread in its census tract. Rent: median of the active contracts declared in 2024, flats, Ministry of Housing; usually below advertised prices. New contracts: average rent of the deposits lodged in January–March 2026 (Incasòl). Valuation: average value of open-market housing valuations in the second quarter of 2026. These are figures for the area, not a valuation of this flat.
