(Re) Discover La Rambla. La Rambla and Barça (Catalan)

On Tuesday, October 27th at 5 p.m. we invite you to the "La Rambla and Barça" Route.

This route offers a fascinating journey through the deep — and often unknown — links that connect La Rambla with the origins of Futbol Club Barcelona. A walk full of history, curiosities, and mysteries that reveals how this emblematic urban space served as the scene and driving force for the birth of the blaugrana passion.

Throughout the route, we will discover the gym where the foundations of the first Barça were laid; we will meet the surprising figure of Valdés, a tobacco seller and La Rambla "lotero" who was part of the first team; and we will delve into the enigmatic mystery of the Lottery's safe box and its unexpected connection with the Club. We will also explain the origin of the mythical link between the Canaletes Fountain and Barça fans, as well as the key role played by the press on La Rambla in allowing supporters to follow matches almost in real-time and celebrate Barça's victories in the street.

An amazing and rigorous route about the origins of Barça and the intense emotional bond that for over a century has united La Rambla with the blaugrana supporters.

Route led by the Cercle Català d'Història.
