Barcelona | Travel Guide - Las Ramblas
This 2 km-long boulevard – which lies
between the Plaça de Catalunya and the port
– is probably the most famous walkway in Barcelona.
People of all ages, cultural backgrounds, nationalities and
social classes, flock to this boulevard. There is also an
endless string of cafes, street theatres, stores, galleries,
vegetable and fruit stands, flower stands, living statues,
jugglers, acrobats and buskers to wonder at.
There are exceedingly interesting buildings
to discover. Examples include the Gothic-Baroque Iglesia
de Betlem, the Palacio de Moya and the Academia
de Sciencias (Academy of Sciences) with its enormous
clock dating back to 1868.
Other sights to include on your itinerary
when strolling along Las Ramblas are the Mercado
de la Boquería (the markets), the Palacio
de la Virreina (which is currently the seat of the culture
department of the regional government) and la Casa Bruno
Cuadros.
