Plaça de Catalunya (Catalonia Square) has a surface area of 30,000 square meters. It is one of the largest squares in Spain and one of the most iconic parts of Barcelona. The Plaça connects the city center with the neighborhood Eixample.
1. Plaza Catalunya. Considered the city center, Plaza Catalunya is where Barcelona's major tourist attractions are located, including the Gothic Quarter, Raval, and Eixample. This 50,000-square-meter public area is well-known for its finely crafted and strategically placed neo-classical and avant-garde sculptures.
This square is so beautiful, it's no wonder it was named royal (reial Catalan for royal). The elegant ambiance of the Plaça Reial is accentuated by the fountain, streetlamps and palm trees, and it is one of Barcelona's busiest, most vibrant spots, particularly at night.
As mentioned, Cuitat Vella (The Old Town) comprises four main areas: El Raval, Barri Gotic, El Born, and La Barceloneta. The latter is an old fishing village which was built on the natural banks of the Mediterranean, and has its own distinct style, festivals and, for the sun-seeker, the city's closest beach.
Plaça de Catalunya is the largest central square in Barcelona and connects the old town to the Eixample district. Several of the major traffic arteries in Barcelona come together on the Plaça de Catalunya, including five metro lines.
Plaza de España (Spanish for 'Spain Square') is a large square and popular tourist destination located in central Madrid, Spain at the western end of the Gran Vía.
Las Ramblas is a 1.2 kilometre-long stretch of boulevard that runs through the heart of the Barcelona city centre and offers historic sites, hotels, public art, shops and dining.
La Rambla street is the main tourist street in Barcelona and the most famous street. It is also called Las Ramblas because the street has different sections with different names. La Rambla goes from Plaça de Catalunya to the Port Vell marina of Barcelona.
The Gothic Quarter is located in the historic center of Barcelona. You'll find it between two streets: the famous La Rambla (sometimes called Las Ramblas) and Via Laietana. You can easily get there by metro from the Liceu or Jaume I metro stations.
