El Guinardó (Catalan pronunciation: [əl ɣinərˈdo], Spanish: [el ɣinaɾˈðo]) is a neighborhood in the Horta-Guinardó district of Barcelona (Spain).[2]

El Guinardó is a neighborhood nestled within the old municipality of Sant Martí de Provençals, straddling the border between Horta — with which it once shared some land — and Gràcia. It sprawls across the eastern slopes of Cerro del Carmelo [es] (Mount Carmel). Up until the late 19th century, the area was mostly rural: farmland, quarries (like the one now in Can Baró), pastures, and farmhouses, including Mas Guinardó (which lent its name to the neighborhood), Mas Viladomat, els Mas Casanovas [ca], Mas Vintró, and the Torre dels Pardals [ca].
