Passeig de Gracia y Rambla de Catalunya

All cities have, among their most important thoroughfares - due to being vital arteries of communications, especially in large cities - a number of streets which are broad, busy commercial avenues, and which conserve a special attraction which is due, no doubt, to their past, which is not lost despite the modifications and remodellings necessary to adapt them to the changing times.

In Barcelona, this phenomenon is clearly seen in streets such as Passeig de Gràcia, and especially in Rambla de Catalunya. The terraces of the cafeterias give them life, together with the variety of traditional shops and the brightly- lit entrances to the modern commercial galleries. Rambla de Catalunya, which is 30 metres wide and runs from the Diagonal to Plaça de Catalunya, has conserved the elegance of its tree- lined central passage. At its crossroads with Gran Via we find a small illuminated fountain, with four putti figures riding dolphins.
