STROLLING AROUND BARCELONA
A LOT TO DO TO SEE TO TELL TO LOVE.
La Rambla:
It is a long boulevard which links the Columbus monument by the port to Placa de Catalunya. All day long you'll find all kinds of buskers and mime artists in action as well as stalls selling flowers, newspapers.

Port Vell:
At the bottom of La Rambla beyond the Columbus Monument is the bustling of Port Vell. This was formerly the old port of Barcelona but today is an ultra modern leisure zone with bars, restaurants, shopping arcades, the Barcelona Aquarium and an Imax cinema.
