More than just a street, colourful Las Ramblas is where Barcelona's life happens. The city's main artery, full of cafés and restaurants, flower stalls, newspapers stands, buskers and people, is always bustling, no matter what time, day and night. If you can't leave a city without a kitsch souvenir, you'll love Las Ramblas. Whether it is Catalan black pottery, a caricature of yourself, handmade baskets or Barcelona lace, you'll find it amongst the mishmash of stalls and shops - there are even kiosks selling birds and other pets! Fortune tellers, tarot readers, mimes, musicians and street performers keep passer-byes amused while adding to the vibrant atmosphere. The area around Plaça de Catalunya boasts international chains, designer outlets and modern department stores – and the largest branch of El Corte Inglés, Barcelona's most famed store, a nine-floor imposing building where you can buy just about anything. Splash out on shoes at Avinguda del Portal de l'Angel, off Plaça de Catalunya, lined with a bountiful of shoe outlets. For quality fresh produce, it doesn't get much better than Mercat de la Boquería, the city's most popular food market.
