Las Ramblas

Barcelona's famous boulevard

Las Ramblas is a famous tree-lined pedestrian boulevard in central Barcelona, stretching from the city's main square to the waterfront.

The street is known for its outdoor cafés, street performers, flower stalls, and heavy tourist traffic.

In Spanish, *las ramblas* refers to dry riverbeds or seasonal streams—the boulevard follows the course of one such former watercourse.
