La Rambla Barcelone Espagne (3)

La Rambla (mot d'origine catalane, lui-même dérivé du mot arabe « raml » signifiant « sable ») est une avenue emblématique de Barcelone qui relie la place de Catalogne, centre névralgique de la ville, au vieux port où se dresse la colonne de Christophe Colomb.

La Rambla (Catalan pronunciation: [ɫə ˈrambɫə]) is a street in central Barcelona, popular with tourists and locals alike. A tree-lined pedestrian mall, it stretches for 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) connecting Plaça de Catalunya in the centre with the Christopher Columbus Monument at Port Vell. La Rambla forms the boundary between the quarters of Barri Gòtic, to the east, and El Raval, to the west.

La Rambla can be crowded, especially during the height of the tourist season. Its popularity with tourists has affected the character of the street, with a move to pavement cafes and souvenir kiosks. It has also suffered from the attention of pickpockets and, especially towards its southern end, sex workers.

The Spanish poet Federico García Lorca once said that La Rambla was "the only street in the world which I wish would never end.
