The Placa de Catalunya is at the top of Le Ramblas, old Barcelona’s main road. It is right in the centre of the city and like the old with the new. When I was there this is ‘the’ place to start of your day of sight seeing. It is the joining point for many attraction filled roads. It has the tourist office there which can come in useful I can tell you as there are so many places you can go from this starting point. Every morning when I left the hotel my friends and I always walked up Le Ramblas to get out our maps and sit down in one of the many outdoor cafés in the sun to decide where we were going. You are sat surrounded in beautiful Gaudi inspired architecture and monuments you feel very in depth with the Spanish culture. There is an unusual monument whish is a large piece of stone with some stone steps placed on top upside down which creates such an image in such a green square. There are loads of trees and is almost paved park. There are numerous fountains and seats here to sit down and watch the world go by. This is the real heart of Barcelona, it mixes the old with the new and you really do feel at home here. The time flies by when strolling though this idyllic centre.
