La Rambla dels Caputxins
La Rambla dels Caputxins, named after a now nonexistent monastery, runs from Plaça de la
Boqueria to Carrer dels Escudellers. The latter street is named after the potters' guild, foun-
ded in the 13th century, the members of which lived and worked here. On the western side
of La Rambla is the
Gran Teatre del Liceu
; to the southeast is the entrance to the palm-
shaded
Plaça Reial
. Below this point La Rambla gets seedier, with the occasional strip club
and peep show.
La Rambla de Santa Mònica
The final stretch of La Rambla widens out to approach the
Mirador de Colom
overlooking
Port Vell. La Rambla here is named after the Convent de Santa Mònica, which once stood
on the western flank of the street and has since been converted into the
