Rambla de Catalunya

More modest in size but just as pretty and central, Rambla de Catalunya is the extension of the Rambla. It starts in Plaça de Catalunya and threads its way to Avinguda de la Diagonal. Its pleasant boulevard is surround by lime trees that invite you to rest awhile on the benches placed along its length.

The café terraces are another attraction it is difficult to avoid when you are taking a stroll. They still have that savoir faire of café-bars of old. You’ll come across some amazing works of architecture on your walk, such as Casa Fargas, a house by Enric Sagnier, Casa Serra, by the Modernista architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch, and Casa Juncosa, by Salvador Vinyals. What’s more, you can also enjoy Josep Granyer’s sculptures: Meditación and Coqueta; popularly known as El Toro Assegut (the Seated Bull) and La Girafa Coqueta (the Flirtatious Giraffe).

Local quality commerce

Its family businesses and age-old shops have always given the Rambla de Catalunya a highly individual, local and charming touch that blends perfectly with the large commercial brands that have arrived.

Needless to say, you’ll also see lots of fashion shop among these unmissable buildings.
