Passeig de Lluís Companys, 08003 Barcelona, Spain
A really cool arch way. The color is really nice and the walkway through it is nice, a great place to take a stroll. The structure is very detailed, the sculptures at the top are interesting. They are hard to see because they are so high up.
As far as I'm concerned, and I suspect that many others think the same, the main attraction is not the arch. It's the wonderful big adjacent park. Many locals use the park to cool down on a hot day and to stroll around with friends and family. For a visitor, it would be people watching.
Mostly locals hanging out, especially teenagers. Scateboarders, musicians, dog walkers. Watch for bag snatchers, not while walking but when sitting down. Vibrant till 22:00 most nights and on several public transport routes. A good place to end a walk through the old city (no crowds). Excellent restaurant choices in the esplanade that ends in the monument.
Such a beautiful place to walk with your family or friends. The construction of this amazing building is just really impressive. You can also go on top of it for some EUR. Loved the walks there. I highly reccomend it
Great atmosphere. A lot of travelers around. All very happy and genuine. Great scenery. Lots of dancing and dogs running around. Very warm feeling
