La Ramblas is the long street running from Placa de Catalunya to Placa Portal de la Pau by the sea. Rambla means 'torrent' in Arabic - and that what flowed here until it was paved into a road. A cebtral walkway with plane trees was first made in 1770 and by late 1850 it became the city most fashionable boulevard. It is now lined with cafes and shops and kiosks in the central walkways.
