I didn't get far on my first walk along La Rambla as we decided to sit outside one of the many cafes and have a large drink of Sangrea, making the most of the sunny spring afternoon. Anyone who enjoys watching street entertainers such as those in Covent Garden, though seeming to appear every few metres, and Spanish singers and dancers should be fascinated with this place. Even when the occasional male dancers get a bit carried away and take off their tops, not a pretty sight, in an attempt to earn some extra money from those watching in amusement. Tempting I have to say if it meant they left! Market stalls selling mainly jewellery and arts and crafts trade at weekends towards the Port end of La Rambla. I could have spent a lot of money here as some of the designs and art work were amazing and very reasonably priced. The sreet has no shortage of places to eat with fast food outlets, cafe, bars and restaurants offering a wide variety of dishes. Seafood is very popular and so is paella however, the nearest traditional Catalan restaurant we found was about a five minute walk from the top of La Rambla. Night time along La Rambla is busy and bustling as it is really the heart of the city. It does tend to cater more for those wanting a meal and drink and, as a student I found heading into the back streets and the Port area we found better bars and clubs and more within our price range. But wherever we drank they were over generous with shot measures! Overall, La Rambla is a buzzing part of the city which must be experienced when visiting this beautiful city.
