It is very understandable that Las Ramblas leaves a lasting impression on people, because it is very much the heart of the city, a broadly avenued Boulevard which cuts its way through the center of Barcelona. At any time of the day and night Las Ramblas will be jam packed with people, depending on what time of the day or night you’ll find a different cross-section of the Barcelona population looking for something different to do. And despite all the glamour associated with Las Ramblas it’s worth remembering that the Boulevard is just over a kilometer long, running from the area of Port Vell to the south and Plaça Catalunya to the north of the city. If you decide to spend some time in Barcelona is nothing sure that you can get used to spending some of your time on Las Ramblas. Because it is such a central point in the day-to-day life of Barcelona, the city council have made it their business to restrict the flow of traffic flow in around the Boulevard, making for something of an oasis of calm in the center of a busy and bustling city.
