The RAMBLA is, of course, the best known landmark of Barcelona, and deservedly so. Meandering down from the Pl. de Catalunya to the Columbus statue, filled with newspaper kiosks, flower and animal stalls, and all sorts of artists, it is undoubtedly the place where everyone comes together, both tourists and locals, from the most inconspicuous to the most exaggerated representative of all sorts of urban tribes.

Once you get on the roof, you realize how amazing the building really is. Gaudi has designed abstract figures which are supposed to represent different types of figures. If I remember correctly, these figures are knights and kings and bishops, like a chess set but more political.
Crema Catalana - Catalan Cream Custard
by Danalia
For 6 persons
4 1/2 cup milk
7 egg yolks
1 1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 stick cinnamon
1/2 lemon, rind
Heat 3 1/2 cups milk with cinnamon stick broken in pieces and lemon rind. Bring to a boil and simmer 5 to 6 minutes. Separate yolks from whites. Add half of remaining cold milk to yolks and beat well. Add rest of cold milk to cornstarch and beat.
Strain boiled milk into clean saucepan. While stirring it constantly over the fire without letting it come to a boil, add in rapid succession 2/3 cup sugar, the egg yolk mixture, and the cornstarch diluted in milk. The custard will thicken quickly. Continue stirring until it is the consistency of a thick cream sauce. Pour at once into six shallow dessert plates.
When custard has cooled to room temperature, sprinkle surface with remaining sugar. Put under hot broiler just long enough to turn sugar an even light brown. Chill cream before serving.
Take a look around
by Pieter11
When you are in the neighbourhood of the Barcelona Cathedral, you have to take a good look around. There are countless beautiful alleys and little squares here to explore. Here you can find the original Barri Gotic and make the most beautiful pictures.
You find everything here!
by Toshioohsako about L'illa shopping mall
There are more than 100 shops here with many cafes and restaurants. You will find both expensive and reasonably-priced articles.
Its also so a wonderful place to visit the restaurants and cafes. Everything you want-clothes, food, sport wear, stationary, and all other things. This is probably the best place for shopping in Barcelona for tourists with limited time.
