With many narrow alleys, colorful markets, tasty flavors of fresh fruits and seafood, charming people, nifty street vendors, Barcelona is a fascinating city providing endless opportunity for fantastic photos. Above is a selection of photos taken on and in the area of La Rambla, the biggest promenade in the center of the city.

You can find more fascinating photos in a tag search for La Rambla, or visit Barcelona on the world map to take a virtual stroll through the capital of Catalonia.
