The vast square at the top of La Rambla merges the old city with the new and serves as the nerve-center of Barcelona’s transportation services. Benches and a grassy knoll (which the local authorities have tried in vain to keep carousing couples off of) surround the polished central expanse with its decorative star mosaic.
A few impressive Neo-Gothic edifices occupy the northern corner of the plaza, but most of the buildings surrounding the plaza are plain and modern places where one can stock up on department store goods or groceries from El Corte Inglés, electronics and books at FNAC, feel right at home in the Hard Rock Café or draw money at the bank to do something more worthwhile.
