La Ramblas
La Ramblas
The most famous street in Europe, the wide tree-lined boulevard
known as La Ramblas, is a long continuous pedestrian avenue that
changes names five times as it cuts through Barcelona’s
‘old city’, the Barri Gotic, from the Placa Catalunya
to the city’s port. It is lined with cafes, restaurants and
shops, and is usually thronged with leisurely walkers enjoying the
sights and sounds. Whilst walking around it is worthwhile to note
some attractions along the way, including Gaudi’s Guell
Palace, his first big architectural assignment, and the pretty
square, Placa Reial.
