Gothic Quarter
Gothic Quarter (Barcelona) – this is the center of the old city of Barcelona (stretching from La Rambla to Vía Laietana, and from the Mediterranean coastline to Ronda de Sant Pere. That area actually goes as far back as the Roman Empire.
You will be spoilt for choice of restaurants and bars, especially around Plaça Reial which is always full day and night. The night-life in the Gothic Quarter is lively to say the least and you will always find somewhere to have a drink or a dance. Calle Ferran, which is just to one side of Plaça Reial and leads up to Plaça Sant Jaume with its imposing government buildings is also good for bars and cafes. Shopping is also amazing in the Gothic Quarter, from the more commercial area of Calle Portal de L’Angel to all the little boutiques on Calle Avinyo. Make sure you walk around to experience all you can, the Gothic Quarter is perfect for that afternoon stroll.
