The district you're referring to is called Eixample (literally "extension"), which is a planned district that was built as a large scale construction project in the 19th and 20th century to expand the city and make room for more/more modern apartments.

Which is kind of ironic seen the current problems.

But it's indeed incredibly beautiful.

Lisboa has a similar but smaller and older district, built there to rebuild after an earthquake.
