Ronda Sant Pere is the dividing line between L'Eixample Dreta, built in the late 19th century, and the Old Town (Ciutat Vella), which predates its new neighbor by a more than a millenium.
A 9-minute walk from Bailen 41 gets you to Sant Pere de les Puel-les (St. Peter of the Novices), a church originally consecrated in 946, destroyed multiple times by various invading forces (including the Spanish in 1714) and rebuilt. It has stayed in fairly constant use as a nunnery and now a parish church.
Enjoy the wide shaded sidewalks on your way to the church and consider stopping in one of the many restaurants that abound in the plaças of Ciutat Vella.
