There is a large arcade halfway down this long avenue and many shops and restaurants. It is often very crowded and buzzing with atmosphere. Leave a Comment

·Rambla de Canaletes. The first one begining on Plaza Catalunya. Its name comes from the Canaletes Fountain, one fountain located on the right side of the street. FC Barcelona football team fans come here when they win a cup
·Rambla dels Estudis. On your left you can take carrer Canuda and carrer Santa Anna.
·Rambla de les Flors. The flower shops give its name to this part of the street.
·Rambla dels Caputxins. Here you can see on your right the Liceu Theatre and Plaça Reial On your left.
·Rambla de Santa Monica. This is the ending of the street and some street artists paint portraits here.

It's the most famous tree-lined street in Barcelona and one of the most famous boulevards in the world. La Rambla goes from Placa Catalunya (the heart of Barcelona) to the harbour. It's about 2km long. It has a central sidewalk with cafes, restaurants, newspaper stands and shops, where you can buy souvenirs, flowers or even birds and small pets.

 Las Ramblas by VeronicaG
La Rambla makes it an easy walk to the waterfront, where you'll pass sidewalk cafes, flower stands, newstands, kiosks and statue men. It's an ideal spot for people-watching and a very busy place!
Named originally for a 'seasonal stream' which flowed into the city, this once pungent part of the city began attracting the affluent in the 16th century. Impressive mansions were constructed along its streets, with the Gran Teatre de Liceu sitting on its western side.
There are five different sections making up Las Ramblas: La Rambla de Canaletes, La Rambla dels Estudis,La Rambla de Sant Josep, LaRambla dels Caputxins and La Rambla de Santa a Colom. Address: Barcelona, SpainDirections: near the waterfront and up from the Columbus Monument

I had read a few reviews on this site about overpriced food, pickpockets, overprice souvenirs etc but i saw none of this. We both bought a couple of little trinkets for less than €10 and had 2 pizzas and 2 drinks for less than €20. We also didnt see any pickpockets but we were very careful and I had a very short handled shoulder bag - maybe if we had kept money in our pockets it would have been different.
The street is divided into sections and there are streetartists, flower stalls and pet shops which are the most horrific thing - the animals like ferrets, birds and rabbits are crammed into cages in the stifling heat during the day and then the stalls close at night and the animals are all encased inside the stall all night and padlocked in. It really depressed me and i cant believe its still allowed. The most shocking thing is that some of the pet stalls dont open on sunday so the animals are padlocked in the stall from saturday night until monday morning. This was definitly the downside of Las Ramblas.
The atmosphere on the street is lively and energetic and you really get the feeling of being right in the heart of Barcelona. There is a lovely cool Pizza Express at the top near Placa Catalunya which we ate in and a McDonalds and Burger King opposite (where you can use the public toilets as there are no public restrooms in Barcelona except in cafes or places like Sagrada Familia). There were also lovely pastry shops and waffle shops which were pretty reasonable in price.
Las Ramblas is definitly a must see. I really enjoyed it (apart from the pet shops) and there are definitly loads of places to buy souvenirs and even nice jewellery, ornaments and summer dresses, etc. Leave a Comment

This has to be one of the best places in the world just to walk. As you walk its full length alongside the many tourists & locals you'll see painted human statues, buskers, caricaturists all vying for your attention. There are plenty of kiosks, flower stalls & pet shops too. As you walk along be sure to look at the colourful pavement mosaic under your feet.
Other highlights on Las Ramblas include Gran Teatre del Liceu (city opera house) & Mercat de La Boqueria(food market).

The only thing about Barcelona that I did not like was the fact that different types of animals, birds and reptiles were being sold at Las Ramblas and it seemed to be a very profitable business. I thought this happens only in countries like India, but unfortunately, forward european nations also seem to be as cruel as us. Guys, this need to be stopped. Please protest.

The Ramblas is probably the most famous street in the city, so when you are there you should walk down it!
It's frequented by tourists and locals alike and changes in theme and feel as you stroll down. Be amazed by the street entertainers and statues, take a look at the artists who work there creating charicatures and detailed pictures of the sites, pick up flowers from the sellers and see the array of different birds and animals on sale there too!
Along the Ramblas you'll find some of the famous cafes and the Grand Theatre Liceu, the Boquiera market also stands here about half way down.
