Solo si ya tienes HUTL vigente: Barcelona no concede licencias nuevas desde 2015 y el Ayuntamiento ha anunciado que todas las HUTL, incluidas las del Eixample y Gràcia, se extinguen en 2028, así que Bliss únicamente trabaja aquí con licencias ya activas. A cambio te firma contrato de arrendamiento con renta fija desde 1.400 hasta más de 2.800 €/mes según tamaño, con contrato de 1 año renovable. Llegado 2028, Bliss puede seguir operando en alquiler de temporada sin licencia turística.
The model: your HUTL, transformed into a fixed income while it lasts
The Eixample and Gràcia are, with Ciutat Vella, the neighborhoods with the most HUTL currently in place in Barcelona. They are also those with the highest demand: Eixample for its central location, its modernist farms and its closeness to the Sagrada Família and Passeig de Gràcia; Gràcia for its character as an "inner town," its squares and a type of guest who wants to live the neighborhood, not just visit it. The demand isn't the problem with both of them. The problem is that nearly nobody's bringing his HutL as much performance as they can before they stop.
The moratorium of new HUTL in Barcelona town has been valid from 2015, and the EUAT (Special Urbanistic Pla d'Allotjamenes Turistics), approved at 2017, puts the whole Eixample and Gràcia into practice in areas with no new licences. That already made HutL a low asset. But there's a more recent figure that changes the calculation: Barcelona's town council has announced that it will not renew any housing HUTL and that all currently currently valid licenses - as well as yours, if you have one at Eixample or Gràcia - will be extinguished at 2028.
That doesn't mean that you have to sell or that the license isn't worth anything. That means the opposite: the window to rent to the best has been shortened, so every month that goes by without exploiting it well is income that doesn't come back. If you have HUTL valid at Eixample or Gràcia, Bliss sign you lease and pay you a monthly rent while the license remains exploitable. The HutL is the asset and Bliss puts it to surrender until the last day it's valid.
- Bliss cannot process new HUTL at Eixample and Gràcia. The moratorium from 2015 and the POUAT 2017 prevents new licences across practically the whole area of both neighborhoods.
- Bliss only works here with properties that already have HutL in place.
- The town council has announced that all housing HUTL will be extinguished at 2028. To date, the licence remains fully valid and exploitable.
- Arrived 2028, Bliss can continue to operate your place at season rental (art. 3 LAU)without a tourist license - the same model we have been using in Madrid. It's not a closed promise today: it's a real path that exists and that we'll value with you at the time.

Why Eixample and Gràcia and why now
El Eixample concentra el mayor volumen de HUTL de Barcelona y una demanda que no depende de una sola temporada: turismo cultural en torno a la Sagrada Família y la Pedrera, compras y ocio en el Passeig de Gràcia, y un flujo constante de viajes de negocio hacia el 22@ y el Fira. Es el barrio donde más fácil resulta mantener ocupación alta todo el año con un producto bien gestionado.
Gràcia has less HUTL currently in place - its collection of narrow streets and smaller buildings have always limited the number of licences - but a different type of guest: who's booked at Gràcia usually looks for somewhat longer stays and a neighborhood with a square life, markets and Festa Major in August. That translates into a more stable and less sensitive occupation to the pure seasonality of sun and beach tourism.
In both cases, what limits supply isn't demand - but the number of HUTL available. And that number from 2026 can only come down.
How much can I get for my place at Eixample or Gràcia?

3 steps to collect your fixed income at Eixample or Gràcia
A real case: owner with HUTL in Gràcia
Marc, propietario de un piso de 2 habitaciones en Gràcia con HUTL desde 2011, lo tenía con una gestora que le cobraba el 27% de los ingresos brutos. Los meses de invierno el piso apenas se llenaba. Renta acordada con Bliss: 2.150 € / months. 1 rental year contract.
Bliss verificó la HUTL, hizo sesión fotográfica profesional, optimizó el anuncio en todas las plataformas y aplicó revenue management propio para mantener ocupación alta también en temporada baja. Marc pasó de una media mensual de 1.700 € netos —tras comisión de la gestora y suministros— a 2.150 € fijos, cobrados el día 1 de cada mes sin variación.
The HUTL's still in Marc's name. Bliss operates the floor with all risks at his disposal and both know that the model has a review date at 2028, not an abrupt end.

FAQ about guaranteed rental in Eixample and Gràcia
Can Bliss process a new HUTL at Eixample or Gràcia?
No. Barcelona town has moratorium of new HUTL from 2015 and the EUAT limits new licenses in practice from both neighborhoods. Bliss only works here with properties that already have HutL in place.
Is it true that the Barcelona HutL are missing at 2028?
The Barcelona City Council has announced that it will not renew any HUTL: all current licenses, including those of Eixample and Gràcia, will be extinguished at 2028. Until then, they have remained fully valid and can be exploited normally.
What about my rent after my HUTL expires at 2028?
The contract is from 1 year renewable, not an undertaking up to 2028. When the license ceases to be valid, we can continue to exploit the housing for seasonal rental (art. 3 LAU) without a tourist license - the model we have been using in Madrid. We appreciate that with you as soon as the time comes and this isn't a closed warrant today.
How much's my HUTL worth at Eixample or Gracia today?

Is there a difference between Eixample and Gràcia for this model?
The Eixample has more HUTL volume and demand for more constant business and cultural tourism. Gràcia has fewer licenses but a guest faithful to the character of a neighborhood with somewhat longer stays. At both, the limit is marked by a shortage of HUTL, and not demand.
How long does the contract last?
1 renewable year with automatic extension every year. Departure clause by sale (notice 60-90) and by family need.

Bliss pays light, water, gas, internet, cleaning and regular maintenance. The owner pays IBI, community and insurance from the continent.
Can the neighbor community block tourist use?
The DIO 1 / 2025 (since April 2025) requires authorisation from 3 / 5 from the community for new VUT. With HUTL currently in place, the situation depends on the historic community. Bliss checks before compromising rent.
