Route: La Rambla and Barça (Catalan)

On Saturday, October 3 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 to the origins of Futbol Club Barcelona. A walk full of history, curiosities, and mysteries that reveals how this emblematic urban space served as both stage and driving force behind the birth of the blaugrana passion.

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

A surprising and thorough route about the origins of Barça and the intense emotional relationship that, for more than a century, has united La Rambla and the blaugrana fans.

Route led by the Cercle Català d'Història.
