La Rambla

La Rambla
La Rambla is Barcelona’s most famous street, actually a series of five connected avenues, each with its own character. The central, tree-lined promenade is pedestrian-only and buzzes (nearly 24/7) with street performers, souvenir stalls, cafés, and tapas bars. It’s lively and fun, but keep an eye on your belongings as pickpockets are notorious here.
