Walking in Barcelona, Spain 🇪🇸: La Rambla - El Raval- Plaça de Catalunya, 4K (Part 2 )

La Rambla (also: Las Ramblas; Catalan: Les Rambles) is a street in central Barcelona. A tree-lined pedestrian street, it stretches for 1.2 kilometres mile) connecting the Plaça de Catalunya in its center with the Christopher Columbus Monument at Port Vell. La Rambla forms the boundary between the neighbourhoods of the Barri Gòtic to the east and the El Raval to the west. El Raval is a neighborhood in the Ciutat Vella district of Barcelona, the capital city of Catalonia. The neighborhood, especially the part closest to the old port, was formerly (informally) known as Barri Xinès or Barrio Chino, meaning "Chinatown". El Raval is one of the two historical neighborhoods that border La Rambla, the other being the Barri Gòtic; it contains some 50,000 people. Famous tourists spots: Carrer del Carme, El gat del Raval (The Raval cat), by Botero´, Carrer de l'Hospital, Sant Pau del Camp church, Plaça dels Àngels, with the MACBA main building in the background. El Raval has changed significantly in recent years and due to its central location has become a minor attraction of Barcelona. It currently has a very diverse immigrant community (47.4% of its population was born abroad, ranging from Filipinos, South Americans, and Pakistanis, to a more recent Eastern European community, especially from Romania). It is home to many bars, restaurants, and night spots. Plaça de Catalunya (meaning in English "Catalonia Square"; sometimes referred to as Plaza de Cataluña, its Spanish name) is a large square in central Barcelona that is generally considered to be both its city centre and the place where the old city (see Barri Gòtic and Raval, in Ciutat Vella) and the 19th century-built Eixample meet.
