Like many residential gardens in Catalonia, the Portolà gardens are sheltered by a house at the back. A bay window/balcony, supported by solid-brick Solomonic columns, reinforces the communication between the residential part and the landscaped rear patio. It is a descending garden that follows the course of the markedly hilly C/ Claudi Sabadell, where there used to be a second entrance to the estate which is now closed, though the entrance stairs have been preserved.

Privacy is a safe bet here. As you go up on the C/ Claudi Sabadell escalator, used by dozens of people these days, you will sense the gardens’ luxuriance and presence from its boughs and palms, which can be seen from the street, while the gardens’ intimacy remains perfectly insulated from the glances of curious onlookers.
