Cultural heritage
The six-storey high Casa Ramos stood out in a landscape of simple three-storey houses. By 1906, the town of Gràcia had been annexed to Barcelona, and Eugeni d’Ors called the new style Noucentista. Jaume Torres’ design was looking forward to the future, while accepting the Catalan Art Nouveau legacy.
The lively pattern of flowers and bees, in contrast to the neo-Medieval gallery, captivated Pedro Almodóvar, who chose the building to be one of the locations for his film All About My Mother.
The garden behind it has a lovely Catalan Art Nouveau pavilion and a large three-armed wrought-iron lamppost.

Observacions
Flors i abelles formen l'estampat –en tons groguens– de gran personalitat d'aquest edifici que va ser escollit pel director Pedro Almodóvar com a escenari per al rodatge de la pel·lícula "Todo sobre mi madre".
Va ser la llar de l'empresari navilier Ricard Ramos fins que la família va marxar a viure a Mallorca en esclatar la Guerra Civil espanyola.
