The central pedestrian street has long been one of the main attractions and symbols of Barcelona. There is a tip in many guidebooks: to feel the special atmosphere of this city, take a walk along the Rambla every day. The advice, it should be noted, is not bad.
The boulevard originates from Plaza Catalunya and ends at the port, at the Christopher Columbus Monument. It is conventionally divided into 5 sections. The first one is the Rambla de Calanetes. This is the name of the cast-iron drinking fountain located here. According to the tourist tradition, if you drink water from it, you will definitely return to the city again. Judging by the queues, there are always a lot of people who want to visit the capital of Catalonia again. In addition, it is on this section of the boulevard that football fans celebrate the victories of their favorite club Barcelona.
Rambla de Calanetes is replaced by Rambla of Exercises. Many years ago, the main city university was located here; today, peace reigns, if this word is even applicable to the central Barcelona boulevard. The main object of this site that deserves attention is the Church of Our Lady of Bethlehem. Cages with birds are traditionally sold near it, which can be released for good luck.
There are numerous flower stands with bouquets on the Rambla. It is very difficult to pass by them without buying anything for yourself or as a gift. The compositions are so beautiful and exquisite.
Rambla Capuchin is famous for its sidewalk mosaics. In addition, art lovers often gather here to listen to the opera at the Gran Liceo Theater. There is also another famous theater located here, which opened several centuries ago and for a long time was the only one in the whole city - the Principal.
And finally, Barcelona's main boulevard ends with the St. Monica's Rambla section. The main object here is the monument to Christopher Columbus. Climbing to its top with the help of an iron elevator, you can take another look at the busy street, but from a bird's-eye view. However, there are always a lot of people who want to, so you'll have to spend 30-40 minutes in line.
The Rambla is not only an interesting architecture of the 16th-18th century. Some of the buildings have interesting museums. Erotic and Wax Figure Museums are the most popular among tourists. And, of course, you can't just walk past the Boqueria market. Here you can not only buy groceries, but also have a snack in one of the many cafes. CSGORUN
