Apartment in Las Ramblas - BarcelonaHow to find an apartment in Las Ramblas
La Rambla is an iconic and busy street in central Barcelona which is popular with both tourists and locals alike.
La Rambla is usually full of street theatre, cafés and market stalls and it serves as the emotional hub of Barcelona. Officially, La Rambla is a series of shorter streets, each differently named, hence the plural form Las Ramblas. From the Plaça de Catalunya toward the harbor, the street is successively the Rambla de Canaletes, the Rambla dels Estudis, the Rambla de Sant Josep, the Rambla dels Caputxins, and the Rambla de Santa Monica. Construction of the Maremàgnum in the early 1990s resulted in a continuation of La Rambla on a wooden walkway into the harbor, the Rambla de Mar. When walking down La Rambla one can visit its many small shops or enjoy watching the various performances (actors, mimes etc.). There are also several vendors trying to sell paper figures they claim are capable of dancing. Cafes and restaurants on La Rambla often charge steep prices. La Rambla can be crowded, especially during the "prime-time" tourist season. For this reason, it has become a prime target for pickpockets. Lots of unwary tourists have had their wallets stolen on this street. Most recently robbery has also become an issue, even during daylight hours. Apartment in Las Ramblas Barcelona
