Passeig de Lluís Companys, Barcelona - Rius i Taulet monument

A look around the Passeig de Lluís Companys in Barcelona from close to the Arc de Triomf (which I had come to see). We wouldn't walk any further than this that evening. But we went to the Parc de la Ciutadella the next morning in the end.

Passeig de Lluís Companys (Catalan pronunciation: [pəˈsɛdʒ də ʎuˈis kumˈpaɲs]) is a promenade in the Ciutat Vella and Eixample districts of Barcelona, Spain, and can be seen as an extension of Passeig de Sant Joan. It was named after President Lluís Companys, who was executed in 1940. It starts in Arc de Triomf and ends in Parc de la Ciutadella, on Carrer de Pujades.
