Barcelona Rambla
The most famous avenue in Barcelona
A meeting point between Plaça Catalunya (Catalonia Square) and the Port Vell, Barcelona's Rambla, located in the Old Town district (Ciutat Vella), is undoubtedly the city's busiest 2 kilometres of pedestrian avenues (the Ramblas), where a mix of artists, painters, musicians, merchants and restaurants provide the greatest satisfaction for tourists.
Barcelona Ramblas street
The Ramblas avenue forms an intersection between the Gothic Quarter (Barrio Gotico), the medieval centre of Barcelona, with the unmissable Cathedral of Santa Eulalia at the heart of its narrow streets, and the Raval Quarter, where the famous Palau Guell is located.
The monument to Columbus, which closes the walk towards Port Vell, as well as the Teatro del Liceu, La Boqueria, or Plaça Reial, are some of the must-sees on a visit to the Ramblas.

5. Boqueria Market
Continuing our walk along the Rambla, we will find on our left the market of La Boqueria. Located in the heart of the Ramblas de Barcelona la Boqueria, is without a doubt the Barcelona's most popular market ; a veritable feast of colours and smells where fresh fruit and vegetables lead the way to the rhythm of the comings and goings of passing people.
