Barcelona Attractions

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.
