"I am a daughter of Sant Gervasi de Cassoles, of a narrow and short street that, then, went from Pàdua to the stream of Sant Gervasi and that was called street Sant Antoni; later on they changed the name to street Paris and,further later on, to the name of Manuel Angelon that still preserves. Sant Gervasi is not at all much far from Gracia." - Prolog from Mercè Rodoreda in La Plaça del Diamant.
