After the museum, we walked up las Ramblas, the most famous street in Spain. Notwithstanding its fame as a world class walking street, I had low expectations for it. I had expected something along the lines of the Rastro flea market in Madrid, so I was pleasantly surprised that it was a bit more entertaining. But just a bit. The street itself is very elegant, wide and lined with some interesting, though variable, architecture. But the whole street is mobbed with tourists, and the shops sell endless variations of tourist crap, while the cafes serve mediocre tourist food.
