Las Ramblas is a main street to walk down in Barcelona. The "Old Town" surrounds it and it is where the street performers gather to show their talents. It ends at the port. One night after dinner we decided to ramble down Las Ramblas.
There is a main walking sidewalk down the middle of the street. There is one lane of car traffic on each side and then more sidewalk. Trees line the middle section and a cool breeze blows. You have to be aware of pickpockets here.
The street begins at Placa Catalunya. It is a huge square with beautiful fountains.
Off the main street of Las Ramblas are many little alleyways to shop and are full of restaurants and hotels.
Following are some of the favorite street performers. We could not decide if this was a woman or a man.
Everyone loved the Gargoyles
The famous market, full of fruit, vegetables, and meat.
This was everyones favorite performer. He acted like he was being blown by the wind and was trying to walk against it.
Look at this guy!
There was a lot of beautiful buildings everywhere.
Of course, these guys pulled the biggest crowd and they were sooooo good. I couldn't believe the way they threw themselves down on the stones.
I hope you enjoyed your ramble down Las Ramblas

Janie, I have so enjoyed perusing your photos, remembering my own trip to Spain and Portugal that I took a very long time ago. Your family is just beautiful and the only thing lacking are photos of YOU in the mix! Understanding the situatioin, being 'the' family photographer, years of images have been taken with few of myself. The little grands are asking if I was ever 'at' any event or on any vacation that was taken by the family because of this. Jump into more pics, share them with your readers!! Hope you all have a safe journey home and that you have memories for a lifetime!
You seem to have had an amazing stay. I apologize for the pickpocket thing :(
In general it must be nice to walk, specially at night. I am happy you enjoyed the city.
