Where is the theater:

The Gran Teatre del Liceu, also known as El Liceu, is the oldest active theatre in Barcelona. It is located on the Rambla dels Caputxins. Since 1750, opera performances in Barcelona were the exclusive monopoly of the Teatre Principal by virtue of a royal privilege that was repealed in 1833 with the liberal revolution. On 24 February 1837, a battalion of the Milicia Nacional, under the command of Manuel Gibert i Sans, founded the Sociedad Dramática de Aficionados, also known as the Liceo Filodramático de Montesión, based in the Montsió convent in the Portal de l’Àngel.

L’architettura di Barcellona tra antico e moderno

L’architettura di Barcellona tra antico e moderno.
Quasi tutte le volte che percorro la Rambla di Barcellona mi trovo sempre a guardare questo scorcio che mi impressiona per il contrasto tra il moderno di questo palazzo e il campanile della basilica di Santa María del Pi.
Un bel contrasto, no?

Ecco il punto preciso dove ho scattato la foto:

La Rambla is one of the most emblematic places in the city, very popular all year round with both tourists and locals, and has different names in its different sections, which is why it is sometimes called in the plural Les Rambles in Catalan and Las Ramblas in Castilian. The word rambla comes from the Arabic raml (sand) and designates, as in other Spanish cities, a street created from a dry, buried or covered watercourse.

Dei bei palazzi sulla Rambla di Barcellona

Dei bei palazzi sulla Rambla di Barcellona.
A me piace percorrere questa via di Barcellona e soffermarmi a guardare (e fotografare) i palazzi che si affacciano su di essa.
Ne scopro sempre qualcuno nuovo (ma magari li ho già visti e non me lo ricordo, ah ah) e ne apprezzo la classe e le decorazioni mai banali.

A kebab on a plate eaten in Barcelona

Un kebab al piatto mangiato a Barcellona

A plate of kebab eaten in Barcelona.
Often, when I stop in Barcelona on the ship, instead of going out to enjoy some typical Spanish dish (and there would be only the embarrassment of choice) I head to a small Turkish restaurant to eat a plate of kebab.
Some people will be horrified but what can I do if I like it?

Do you like kebab?

This is where I go, on a side street of the Rambla:

The term kebab is essentially of Persian origin: Arab tradition holds that the dish was invented in the Middle Ages by Persian soldiers who used their swords to grill meat over an open fire. According to Ibn Battuta, a Moroccan traveler, in India kebab was not only served in royal palaces during the Delhi Sultanate (1206-1526 AD), but also common people used it for breakfast with naan, a leavened and baked bread. An older variant of kebab (in Greek: obeliskos) is attested in Greece from the 8th century BC in the writings of Homer and in the classical works of Aristophanes, Xenophon and Aristotle.

Il monumento a Cristoforo Colombo (monument a Colom in catalano) è una statua in onore di Cristoforo Colombo (Cristòfor Colom in catalano) che si trova alla fine della Rambla davanti al porto di Barcellona. Il monumento, alto 60 metri, è tra i più famosi della città e della Spagna intera e fu costruito per iniziativa del mercante Antoni Fages I Ferrer in onore del grande navigatore genovese, per ricordare quando, di ritorno dal Nuovo Mondo, Colombo si recò da Isabella di Castiglia e Ferdinando II d’Aragona. Si trova nella piazza Portal de la Pau (Portale della pace), punto di unione tra l’estremità inferiore delle Ramblas e il Passeig de Colom (passeggiata di Colombo) di fronte al porto.

Burritos, empanadas e croquetas alla Boqueria

Burritos, empanadas e croquetas alla Boqueria.
Street food latini al mercato più famoso di Barcellona: burritos (una pietanza che appartiene alla cucina tex-mex e consiste in una tortilla di farina di grano riempita con carne di bovino, pollo o maiale, che è poi chiusa ottenendo una forma sottile), empanadas (dei fagottini di pasta ripieni di verdure e/o carne, originari della Spagna e tipici dell’Argentina e delle Filippine) e croquetas (crocchette di besciamella e prosciutto crudo, impanate e fritte).

Here's where the market is located:

La Boqueria is the most famous market in Spain and one of the largest in Catalonia with its 2,583 square meters and more than 300 stalls. It is also one of the oldest markets in Spain: born at the beginning of the 17th century at the gates of the city in the plain of Pla de la Boqueria (which today is a small square in front of the current market) to avoid paying taxes on goods, it was inaugurated later, in 1836, where it is still located halfway along the popular Rambla, between the Palau de la Virreina and the Liceu Theater.

The rose window of the church of San Jaume in Barcelona

Il rosone della chiesa gotica di San Jaume a Barcellona

The rose window of the Gothic church of San Jaume in Barcelona.
It is certainly not the church that you remember visiting in Barcelona (for that there is the Sagrada Familia and the cathedral) but I also love photographing the details (in addition of course to the famous and touristy things that the site is full of).
This is the beautiful rose window of a small Gothic church near the Rambla.
And the inscription: “Rosa d’abril, Morena de la serra” which celebrates the Virgin of Montserrat, a dark-skinned Madonna, protector of Catalonia.

La Rambla: tra cultura, storia e divertimento

La Rambla di Barcellona: un viaggio tra cultura, storia e divertimento.
La città di Barcellona, situata sulla costa nord-est della Spagna, è rinomata per la sua cultura vibrante, la sua architettura unica e la sua vivace vita notturna. Uno dei luoghi più iconici e affascinanti di questa città mediterranea è senza dubbio La Rambla, una strada celebrata in tutto il mondo per la sua bellezza e il suo fascino. Con una storia ricca e una vasta gamma di attività da offrire, La Rambla è una tappa imperdibile per chiunque visiti Barcellona.
La Rambla, conosciuta anche come “Les Rambles” in catalano, è una lunga strada pedonale che si estende per circa 1,2 chilometri dal Plaça de Catalunya alla zona del porto di Barcellona. Questo famoso viale è composto da una serie di strade separate che si connettono tra loro, ciascuna con la sua atmosfera unica. La Rambla deve il suo nome alla parola araba “ramla”, che significa “fiume secco”, in riferimento al fatto che un tempo scorreva un piccolo fiume lungo questo percorso.
a Rambla è conosciuta per la sua straordinaria diversità. Mentre la strada principale è un viale alberato che offre una piacevole passeggiata, sono i lati della strada che la rendono davvero speciale. Ecco alcuni dei luoghi iconici che troverete lungo La Rambla:
– Mercato della Boqueria: Situato vicino al Plaça de Catalunya, questo mercato alimentare è un paradiso per gli amanti del cibo. Potrete scoprire una varietà di frutta fresca, pesce, carne, dolci e molti altri prodotti spagnoli tradizionali.
– Teatro Liceu: Questo teatro d’opera è uno dei più prestigiosi al mondo e offre spettacoli eccezionali. Anche se non state pianificando di assistere a un’opera, vale la pena ammirare la sua facciata grandiosa.
– Artisti di Strada: Lungo La Rambla, troverete una miriade di artisti di strada che esibiscono le loro abilità artistiche. Da mimi a musicisti, ci sono spettacoli di strada per tutti i gusti.
– Statue Viventi: Alcune delle statue viventi lungo La Rambla sono incredibilmente dettagliate e mettono in scena performance uniche che catturano l’attenzione dei visitatori.

La Rambla offre anche numerose opzioni culinarie. Ci sono caffè e ristoranti lungo la strada dove potrete gustare piatti tradizionali spagnoli come tapas, paella e frutti di mare freschi. La notte, La Rambla si trasforma in un’area vivace con molti bar, locali notturni e discoteche, rendendola un punto di incontro per coloro che cercano divertimento fino alle prime luci dell’alba.
Evitate di essere vittime di furti. La Rambla è nota per la presenza di borseggiatori, quindi assicuratevi di tenere al sicuro i vostri effetti personali.
Godetevi una passeggiata durante il giorno e immergetevi nella cultura. Assaporate una tazza di caffè in uno dei numerosi caffè all’aperto o assaggiate le deliziose tapas.
Esplorate i vicoli laterali. Molti dei tesori di La Rambla si trovano nelle strade adiacenti, quindi non abbiate paura di allontanarvi dalla strada principale.

In conclusione, La Rambla è una destinazione imperdibile per chiunque visiti Barcellona. Questa strada unica è un’esperienza culturale, culinaria e di intrattenimento che cattura il cuore di chiunque la percorra. Con la sua storia affascinante e la sua vivacità, La Rambla è una delle gemme di Barcellona che non potete permettervi di perdere.

Some buildings overlooking the Rambla in Barcelona.
Some time ago I stopped by ship in Barcelona, the very famous Spanish city overlooking the Mediterranean, and what an opportunity to take a walk on the Rambla, the famous pedestrian street that crosses the center of the city?
In addition to being a beautiful tree-lined avenue full of street artists and restaurants for tourists, I like to observe the beautiful buildings that overlook it: every time I discover a new one!

The statue of Saint Francis Borgia in Barcelona

The statue of Saint Francis Borgia in Barcelona.
Walking along the Rambla in Barcelona, you come across, more or less halfway, the church of the Blessed Virgin of Bethlehem. At the entrance to the church there is a statue of a Saint that, searching on the internet, I discovered was Saint Francis (Borgia).
What struck me about the statue is the skull that it keeps above the book that it holds in its left hand.
Searching for the meaning of this symbol, I discovered that skulls are often placed near the Saints to make it clear that they are the first to know that we are only passing through and that sooner or later we will all become skulls. This is well explained in this post on it.aleteia.org

On June 26, 1539, he was appointed viceroy of Catalonia. In 1546, his wife Eleanor died, and he placed himself under the spiritual direction of the Jesuit fathers. On February 1, 1548, he took solemn vows and entered the Society of Jesus, but obtained a special dispensation to remain in the world until he had fulfilled his duties as a parent to his eight children.
