Calling from another country?
Las Ramblas
- In brief: the most famous street in Barcelona.
- Why visit: to form your own opinion. Worth all the fuss?
- Getting there: green line of the metro - Catalunya, Liceu, Drassanes.
- Tips: check the only hands in your pockets are your own!
Las Ramblas - the good, the bad and the so-so
The good: La Boqueria (food market extraordinaire), the human statues, Santa Monica Arts Centre, the Liceu theatre, the flower stalls, the Miró mosaic, the Bruno Quadras building (look for the umbrellas and the dragon), the Palau Güell, the Palau de la Virreina, a burger in Nuria restaurant.
The bad: pickpockets, the crowds, overpriced restaurants and bars without the quality or service, tacky souvenir shops, the Wax Museum, pet sellers (going, going...), less-than-savoury elements in the small hours of the morning.
The so-so (the jury’s out): Plaça Reial, El Bosc de les Fades (a bar going by the name of ‘The Fairy Wood’ - you’ll either love it or hate it).
