Open 8.00-20.30 This market is a must see when in Barcelona, and is probably one of the most well known markets in Europe. It might be thought of as a tourist attraction but it is also a very good market in its own right. All the store holders take great pride in the presentation of their displays-of fresh fish, shellfish, meat, herbs, spices, wines, bread and juices, making It a photogenic delight ! There are a great number of take away stalls and popular selection of tapas bars under the classical columns, making a bustling and convivial atmosphere.
If you asked a selection of people from all over the world to name a famous street or boulevard, La Ramblas would probably be top of the list!
Lined with cafes, tapas bars, restaurants, shops, flower stalls, street artists and of course plenty of tourists!

One of Antoni Gaudi's most amazing projects in Barcelona. Originally concieved to be similar to an English Garden City by Eusebi Guell, the project never came to fruition and was handed over to the city in 1922.
This photogenic delight displays magical creations of lizards, sea sepents, collums, collonades, waves and palm shaped pillars all covered with ceramic tiled mosiacs.
The park is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Construction on the Cathederal was started in 1882 and it seems as though it will not be finished for many more years to come.
Progress has been slow due to the project being funded by private donations and the interruption of the Civil War.
Antoni Gaudi took over the project in 1883 and worked on the building until his death in 1926.
The building has been overseen by many architects since, but it is Gaudi's unusual vision for the building which shines through.
