 El Corte Ingles at Placa
Catalunya by Jetgirly
Placa Catalunya is good for shopping. I got my pay-as-you-go Vodaphone from FNAC, found a great selection of veggie burgers and tofu at the grocery in the basement of El Corte Ingles, and bought an adorable lipstick highlighter pen at Sephora in El Triangle!
For awesome views from the Plaza, grab a drink in the cafeteria on the top floor of El Corte Ingles. Food and drinks are cheap up here, and if you can score a window seat the views are unparalled (for the price!). Leave a Comment Directions: Northwestern End Las Ramblas. Metro: Catalunya

Plaça Catalunya (or Plaça de Catalunya, both being the official Catalan language names) is a large square in central Barcelona that is generally considered to be both its city centre and the place where the old city (see Barri Gòtic and Raval, in Ciutat Vella) and the 19th century-built Eixample meet.
Some of the city's most important streets and avenues meet in Plaça Catalunya: Passeig de Gràcia, Rambla de Catalunya, La Rambla or Portal de l'Àngel, in addition to Ronda de Sant Pere, Carrer de Vergara or Carrer de Pelai. It has an area of about 50,000 square metres. It is especially known for its fountains and statues, its proximity to some of Barcelona's most popular attractions, and for the numerous flocks of pigeons that gather in the centre Directions: Northwestern End Las Ramblas.

This is the central square for most visitors in Barcelona although Plaza de les Glories Catalanes is the real geographical spot. For me it was the main transport hub also because there are 2 metro lines that pass from here (Line 1, Line 3) and also most of the buses passing by day and night. You can also catch the RENFE train to the airport, the tourist buses and so many others.
It is always full of people as it is a popular meeting point and there are several shops and big department stores around (Fnac, Corto Ingles, Habitat etc). Las Ramblas, Passeig de Gracia and Rambla de Catalunya start from here and it’s worth walking on all of them.
There are several fountains, sculptures, statues and some nice flowers in the square. Directions: Northwestern End Las Ramblas. Metro: Catalunya

The Square itself is very pleasant, and has a very decorative floor, that you probably won't even realise is there anless you see it from above. There are also some very nice views off to the sides. The square is normally pretty busy and is a nice place to sit and eat a sandwich. Leave a Comment Directions: Northwestern End Las Ramblas. Metro: Drassanes, Liceu, Catalunya

The Catalonia Square is one of the main transport axis of the city, with connections between different metropolitan underground lines, national (RENFE) and regional (FGC) trains,as well as city line and tourist buses. But this square is a good start for a stroll to Las Ramblas or Gracia Promenade too. It's surrounded with beautiful buildings that at present shelter the Bank of Spain, some commertial bank headquarters and El Corte Inglés, the most important Spanish shopping centre. There are big fountains, sculptures and a memorial to Francesc Macià, which was a president of the regional government (Generalitat de Catalunya).
La Plaza de Cataluña es uno de los ejes de transporte más importantes de la ciudad, con conexiones entre diferentes líneas de metro, de los trenes nacionales (RENFE) y regionales (FGC), así como entre auobuses urbanos y turísticos. Pero esta plaza es también un buen lugar para comenzar el paseo por Las Ramblas o el Paseo de Gracia. Está rodeada de bonitos edificios que acojen en la actualidad al Banco de España, sedes de algunos bancos comerciales y El Corte Inglés, el centro comercial español más importante. Hay grandes fuentes, esculturas y un homenaje a Francesc Macià, que fue presidente del gobierno regional (Generalidad de Cataluña). Leave a Comment Directions: Northwestern End Las Ramblas.
