Question: Which is it? Las Ramblas, La Rambla or Les Rambles?
Various guides refer to Barcelona's most famous street as 'La Rambla', 'Las Ramblas' or 'Les Rambles'. Which is correct?
Answer: All three names are correct.
Some call the street 'La Rambla', but as it is actually a series of streets linked together, many others call it 'Las Ramblas'. 'Les Rambles' is the Catalan name for it.
The name on the street sign is La Rambla.
However, in my experience, most tourists call it 'Las Ramblas', so I stick to that name on this site. And as most people think of it as one street, I refer to it in the singular.
