Another curious fact about Barcelona. La Rambla in Barcelona is actually five streets, not one!!
Undoubtedly the most famous street in Barcelona, La Rambla stretches from the Mirador de Colom on the waterfront to the grandiose Plaça Catalunya.
Often referred to in the singular ‘La Rambla’, this large boulevard is actually made up of five different streets: Rambla de Canaletes, Rambla dels Estudis, Rambla de Sant Josep, Rambla dels Caputxins and the Rambla de Santa Mònica.
Another curious fact about the streets is that once upon a time it used to be an open stream, designed to filter water from the mountains surrounding Barcelona to the sea.
