Thing to see in and around Barcelona
LA RAMBLA The main street in Barcelona, La Rambla runs from the Columbus Monument by the sea, through the Gothic Quarter and into the very heart of the old part of town. Lined by trees and full of colorful cafés and bars, the street continues to offer new sights the further you venture into it. See the mosaic by the surrealist painter Joan Miro, drink from the Font de Canaletes fountain, hang out in the La Boqueria market, where you can find lots of little ornaments and souvenirs, and remember to visit the Güell Palace. The famous Spanish poet, Lorca, once said that this street is the only one “in the world that I wish would never end”, and who are we to disagree?
