Tag >> La Rambla

 La Rambla divides the centre of Barcelona in two halves. On one side there is the Gothic area and on the other side there is the Raval.
This quarter wasn’t very populated originally and most of the area was covered by fields. By the half of the XIX century, it became the industrial centre of the city, thanks to the development the Barcelona went through in those years. However this urbanisation made the quarter more and more degraded with very low hygienical conditions.


 The Gothic Quarter is the heart of the historical part of Barcelona, located between La Rambla and Via Laietana and between Plaça Catalunya and the seafront. In its labyrinth of narrow streets, most of them closed to regular traffic, you will see many Medieval buildings and some Roman ones. Before starting make sure to get a map so you won’t get lost.
