Central Barcelona features a tree-lined pedestrian street known as La Rambla, stretching for 1.2 km (0.75 mi) and connecting the Plaça de Catalunya to the Christopher Columbus Monument at Port Vell. This street acts as a boundary between the Barri Gòtic neighborhood to the east and El Raval to the west.
During peak tourist season, La Rambla can get crowded due to its popularity, causing a shift in the street's character to include pavement cafes and souvenir kiosks. However, this popularity has also led to an increase in pickpocketing incidents.
The Spanish poet Federico García Lorca once expressed his fondness for La Rambla, stating that it was "the only street in the world which I wish would never end."

The cathedral's roof stands out due to its collection of gargoyles, showcasing various domestic and mythical animals.
