La Rambla, Barcelona - a video clip

I was very fortunate to get an awesome little and very inexpensive hotel (of which I will talk another time) right at the top of the street, the street of the streets in Barcelona: La Rambla. The place never sleeps and it is busy almost 24 hours a day. La Rambla runs from the Plaça de Catalunya towards the harbour and it is actually divided into sections which every one of the has its own name: the Rambla de Canaletes, the Rambla dels Estudis, the Rambla de Sant Josep, the Rambla dels Caputxins and the Rambla de Santa Monica. I had great view from my little balcony on the third floor over looking the street, which allowed me to pull out a chair to relax and watch people downstairs after a long day of sightseeing all over the city. La Rambla is a popular street with both tourists and locals alike. A 1.2 kilometer-long tree-lined pedestrian mall in the Barri Gòtic, on each side of it, there is one lane traffic going in each direction. Usually full of street theatre, cafés and market stalls, it is the central hub of Barcelona and perfect place to start a nice stroll down to the port area. Everyone wants to be seen on La Rambla, the parade goes on into early mornings each and every day so if you do not close your windows tide you may have a bit of a hard time sleeping at first.
