Description
I hope those of you who have stuck with me have enjoyed this architectural tour of Barcelona - this is my final photo in the series. It's the Hotel Monte Carlo, which is a four star hotel located right on La Rambla, probably the most famous street in Barcelona.
Some interesting info about La Rambla from Wikipedia:
"The promenade is crowded during the day and until late in the night. It is full of kiosks that sell newspapers and souvenirs, flowers and birds, street performers, cafes, restaurants and shops. Near the port are found smaller local markets and the shop-fronts of painters and draftsmen. Strolling along La Rambla one can see such historic buildings as the Palace of the Virreina and La Boqueria market and the famous Liceu Theatre (Liceo in Spanish), in which operas and ballets are staged. One of the side streets, only a few metres long, leads to the Royal Square (Placa Reial), a plaza with palm trees and porticoed buildings containing many pubs and restaurants, and in which stamp and coin collectors gather on the weekends.
La Rambla can be crowded, especially during the height of the tourist season. Most of the time there are many more tourists than locals occupying the Rambla, which fact has changed the shopping selection, as well as the character of the street in general. For this reason also it has become a prime target of pick pockets.
The Spanish poet Federico García Lorca once said that La Rambla was "the only street in the world which I wish would never end." The name rambla refers to an intermittent watercourse in both Catalan and Spanish. This is reflected in the undulating design on the pavement which is also decorated with a mosaic by Joan Miro."

To be honest, it's too processed for my tastes. But that's just me, and not a criticism. Great info on a city I have never been too.

Stunning, even startling, colors, flares, lighting and overall contrast in this pic of the Barcelona beauty! Fantasyland. The structure even beats Disneyland on a good night.
