Barcelona's busy main street. There's a large island that runs down the middle of it from the
Plaça Catalunya
to
Columbus Monument. On this island you can see many
street performers,
artists,
musicians, newsagents, flower stalls, people trying to sell tourist junk to you, and a metro station or two. The street is quite old and picturesque, and generally quite busy. There is lots of nice architecture to see, and a few monuments too. Don't make the mistake of stopping for food or drink on the terraces on La Rambla, they overcharge quite a lot in my opinion.

La Rambla refers to "the torrents" which would
to be completed.
