Start walking in the direction of the sea, down\u00a0<strong>Las Ramblas<\/strong>. This avenue\/promenade is the most popular touristic area in <strong>Barcelona<\/strong>.

Unless you are a die-hard fan of paella and prefer to take a seat at one of the touristic restaurants in Las Ramblas, your best bet is to go into <strong>La Boqueria<\/strong> market and search for the booths in the back that sell sweet and savory treats. Take your pick, take a bite and you are on the move again!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tip: Avoid the market\u2019s main entrance. It is usually so crowded, it takes several minutes to walk a couple of steps. Look for the restaurant \u201cWok to Walk\u201d.
