Barcelona

 The Barri Gòtic ('Gothic Quarter' in Catalan; Castilian: Barrio Gótico ) is the centre of the old city of Barcelona. Many of the buildings date from Medieval times, some from as far back as the Roman settlement of Barcelona. Remains of the squared Roman Wall can be seen around Tapineria and Sots-Tinent Navarro to the north, Avinguda de la Catedral and Plaça Nova to the west and Carrer de la Palla to the south.

 The Barri Gòtic retains a labyrinthine street plan, with many small streets opening out into squares . Most of the quarter is closed to regular traffic although open to service vehicles and taxis.

La Rambla

 La Rambla or Les Rambles (Catalan) / Las Ramblas (Spanish) is an iconic and busy street in central Barcelona, popular with both tourists and locals alike.

 A 1.2 kilometer-long tree-lined pedestrian mall in the Barri Gòtic, it connects Plaça Catalunya in the center with the Christopher Columbus monument at Port Vell. Usually full of street theatre, cafés and market stalls, it serves as the emotional hub of Barcelona.

 Officially, La Rambla is a series of shorter streets, each differently named, hence the plural form Les Rambles . From the Plaça de Catalunya toward the harbor, the street is successively the Rambla de Canaletes, the Rambla dels Estudis, the Rambla de Sant Josep, the Rambla dels Caputxins, and the Rambla de Santa Monica. Construction of the Maremàgnum in the early 1990s resulted in a continuation of La Rambla on a wooden walkway into the harbor, the Rambla de Mar.

 When walking down La Rambla one can visit its many small shops or enjoy watching the various performances (actors, mimes etc.). There are also several vendors trying to sell paper figures they claim are capable of dancing. La Rambla can be pretty crowded, especially during the "prime-time" tourist season. For this reason, it has become a prime target for pickpockets. Lots of unwary tourists have had their wallets stolen on this street.

 Spanish poet Federico García Lorca once said that La Rambla was "the only street in the world which I wish would never end".

 The name La Rambla means, in Spanish and Catalan , an intermittent water flow, and is derived from the Arabic 'Ramla' which means 'sandy riverbed'.
