La Rambla (Les Rambles) and La Bouqeria are the famous streets of Barcelona and you just cant skip these two while visiting the city.
Both the street are connected very near to the city center, PL. CATALUNYA. Metro lines L2,L3 and L4 are connected to the Pl. Cataluya but the most near to the street is line L3.
The La Rambla street is full of street vendors and street artist. You can find allot of sellers selling the on ground the fake Football shirts and I recommend not to buy as their average price after bargaining is 12 - 25 Euros and you can easily fin this price in the shops (not the original: it cot 100 Euro from the stadium). The street is a very lively place and a must go in the evening time, keep you luggage and pockets safe as its a crowded place and famous place for pickpockets too.
The street is nearly 1 km long connecting Plaça de Catalunya in the centre with the Christopher Columbus ( which is next to coast line).
Where as the La Bouqeria is a large food/fish market attached to the Ra Rambla near to Metro station Liceu. The market is just next to the restaurant Dunkin Donut. The market is famous place for both tourists and the locals, especially the fruits,vegetables, chocolates and the marine variety pulls the customers itself.
The market is clean and not smelly( as they sell fish there). Its not very expensive and good experience to meet locals and try some exotic fruits, or just have a lunch in small open stalls.
The freshness, variety, colors and artistic arrangement of products is just indescribable.
