Ciutat Vella

Ciutat Vella is a district of Barcelona, numbered District 1. The name means "old city" in Catalan and refers to the oldest neighborhoods in the city of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Ciutat Vella is nestled between the Mediterranean Sea and the neighborhood called l'Eixample .

Running down the center of the Ciutat Vella are the boulevards Les Rambles, popularly known as La Rambla since they are continuous, like a single street. Les Rambles stretches from Plaça Catalunya to the Mediterranean Sea and, since the 1990s, now extends out over the sea into one of Barcelona's newest centers of entertainment, Maremàgnum. Each of Les Rambles has its own specialty. La Rambla de les Flors is devoted to flower stands, another Rambla to animal vendors , and the lowest Rambla hosts temporary art fairs. El Mercat de Sant Josep and Gran Teatre del Liceu are both located here. Les Rambles are among the most frequently travelled streets by pedestrians in Barcelona.
