Route: La Rambla and Barça (Catalan)

On Saturday, October 3rd at 5 pm we invite you to the "La Rambla and Barça" Route.

This route offers a fascinating journey through the deep-and often unknown-connections linking La Rambla with the origins of Futbol Club Barcelona. A walk full of history, curiosities, and mysteries that reveals how this iconic urban space was both the setting and the driving force behind the birth of blaugrana passion.

Throughout the route, we will discover the gym where the foundations of the first Barça were laid; learn about the surprising figure of Valdés, tobacconist and lottery vendor from La Rambla who was part of the first team; and delve 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 the culé fans, as well as the crucial role played by La Rambla's press in allowing supporters to follow the matches almost in real time and celebrate Barça victories in the street.

A surprising and rigorous tour about the origins of Barça and the intense emotional relationship that, for more than a century, has united La Rambla with the blaugrana supporters.
