Thsi is the most famous street in Barcelona, and it lives up to it's name. One improtant thing to keep in mind is that pick pocketers are always there - be careful especially when taking photos and giving money to the street artists More

Oh my goodness :P I got to go back to Las Ramblas this year, this time with my girlfriend. We went exploring down the side streets off Las Ramblas 'cos she was curious and could see shops there. There was so much available at great prices, shoes, boots, jeans, tshirts, jewelry, food, sweets, nougat, decorations, art ... We were there... More

I travelled to Barcelona with 2 of my Children in December 2011. The main reason for the trip was to stay at Portaventura, but I stipulated that I wanted a day in Barcelona before travelling home.
