La Rambla
La Rambla is widely considered to be Spain’s most famous street, offering a flair of Barcelona’s vibrant ambiente. It is a broad pedestrian boulevard lined with vendors and street performers.
La Rambla gets its name from a seasonal stream, (raml in Arabic) that once ran here. It was located outside of the city walls until the 14th century, and then the area was later built up with monastic buildings in the 16th to 18th centuries.
