Rambla Catalunya

I feel like this is a street that definitely doesn’t get enough ‘air time’ amongst Barcelona’s tourists or expats. It’s a little bit underrated and under appreciated, however it’s one of Barcelona’s ‘hidden gems’ (it’s not really that hidden). Located directly parallel to Paseo De Gracia, Rambla Catalunya sports trendy shops and elegant, delicious restaurants  with wonderful terraces. It’s much less crowded than the its more popular neighbour and way less packed than La Rambla. It’s definitely a street worth checking out, the best part being that there’s a walkway (like La Rambla) that runs from top to bottom, so you don’t have to deal with cars and bikes. It’s not often on people’s ‘must see’ lists, but it’s one of my favourite streets in the city, excellent for browsing and taking strolls.
