Good to know
- Walk it early in the morning, before the crowds, when it is at its most atmospheric (Lonely Planet's advice).
- Rick Steves calls it colorful, gritty and tourist-filled: keep valuables close in the crush.
- For food, turn off into the side streets of the Gothic Quarter or El Raval rather than the terraces on the promenade.
