La RamblaThe most famous street in Europe, the wide tree-lined boulevard
known as La Rambla (or Las 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 of Placa
Reial. |
