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

On Friday, June 19 at 10 a.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 was both the setting and the driving force behind the birth of the blaugrana passion.

Throughout the route, we'll discover the gym where the foundations of the first Barça were laid; we'll learn about the surprising figure of Valdés, tobacco seller and La Rambla "lottery man" who was part of the first team; and we'll delve into the enigmatic mystery of the Lottery safe and its unexpected relationship with the Club. We'll also explain the origin of the mythical bond between the Canaletes Fountain and Barça fans, as well as the key role played by the La Rambla press in allowing supporters to follow matches almost in real time and celebrate Barça victories in the streets.

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