FEATURED HOTELS - LAS RAMBLAS / LES RAMBLES |
|
| Las Ramblas, or La Rambla
is a 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. |
| La Rambla can be considered a series
of shorter streets, each differently named, hence the plural forms Las
Ramblas (Spanish) and les Rambles (Catalan). 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. |
| La Rambla can be crowded, especially
during prime time tourist season. Most of the time, there are many more
tourists than locals occupying las Ramblas -- this has changed the shopping
selection, as well as the character of the street in general. For this
reason also, it has become a prime target for pickpocketing. |
| 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 rambla means, in Catalan,
but also in Spanish, an intermittent water flow, and is derived from the
Arabic 'ramla' which means 'sandy riverbed'.. View
