The uppermost section, beginning at Placa Catalunya, is known for the Font de las Canaletes, a fountain that, tradition has it, guarantees your return to the city after one metallic sip. The next section between C/ Santa Anna and C/ Portaferrissa is known as Rambla dels Estudis after the students who crowded outside its university during the middle ages. These days it is more commonly referred to as La Rambla dels Ocells (birds) for the numerous stands of the bird market. The pigeons seem to love to torture the poor, caged parrots.
