Ramblas
The Spanish name “Rambla” means dry riverbed so as the name indicated Barcelona has got more than one.
However some ramblas have just been turned into massive roads so you need to know where the nice ones are…
Overview:
- La Rambla: Bottom left
- Rambla Poeblenou: Top right

# La Rambla
This is the one we all know. Most information will be in the tourist guides.
In general I find the area too touristic and the right side of the street towards the sea, called “El Raval”, a bit dodgy in some areas.
Getting there:
- Metro: Placa Catalunya, Liceu or Drassanes
My favourites around there are:
- Mercado de La Boqueria (marked with a blue shopping cart below): The old market

# Rambla Poeblenou
This is my favourite rambla.
Starting Clot and goes all the way to the beach.
Also this part of the beach is the best in my mind.
Getting there:
- Metro: Poeblenou or Llacuna
My favourites around there are:
- Various restaurants on the street
- Bars and restaurants on the beach
- Additionally have a walk in the parallel street marked with blue line
