La Rambla is the most famous road in Barcelona. It is made of several roads and forms a continuous tree lined avenue through the heart of Barcelona. As can be seen in this picture, taken near the Hotel Rivoli Ramblas, one of many hotels on the route, it is a very popular tourist attraction. It is impossible to get a clear photograph down the pedestrianised route due to the number of people there all through the day and night. La Ramblas really comes alive at night, when it can be very crowded. Tourists are reminded to watch their belongings carefully in the area.
