- Friends of La Rambla
- Become a Amic de La Rambla

Federico García Lorca

"The street where all four seasons of the year coexist at once, the only street on earth that I wish would never end, rich in sounds, abundant in breezes, beautiful in encounters, ancient in blood, the Rambla of Barcelona."

Calixto Bieito

"No one can feel like a stranger, from the idle tourist to the retiree, the child, the lover, the pickpocket, or the poet. Las Ramblas are like the ancient chorus of a Greek tragedy that sees itself metamorphosed and acts as if it really lived in another body, with another character. The Rambla is the work of a poet, 'a chosen moment,' 'a treasure in images.' The Rambla, more powerful than life."

Josep M. de Sagarra

"Do you know what the Rambla de las Flores is? There are more bald people than rich ones, more crazy people than those with a steady mind. And too much smoke, nerves, and dust, and a world that's a bit dazed. One makes spite dance, another dances like a monkey. The sweet girls make hearts dance there. It is Barcelona's ballroom, and the sun comes to serve as a golden carpet."

Josep María Espinàs

"On the Rambla nothing can be imitated. Things are as they are: vulgar, splendid, outdated, alive. The Rambla only imitates itself-but it doesn't know it."

Maria Aurèlia Capmany

"La Rambla belongs to all of Barcelona. To any resident from any remote corner of Barcelona. Sometimes, even long-time residents get impatient and murmur: La Rambla is not what it used to be. La Rambla has never been what it used to be... La Rambla indulges in the luxury of not being what it used to be, but of always being herself."

Carlos Zanón

"Las Ramblas are the excuse for serendipity. You don't know what you're looking for there until you find it, and what you find is exactly what you needed: an umbrella, a bracelet, a relative who shouldn't be around those parts, or a bad batch of something. (...) You went to Las Ramblas because from your neighborhood you wanted to go to Barcelona, to clear your mind, to distract yourself, to lose yourself among others."

Josep Pla

"January 17. [...] La Rambla is a marvel. It is one of the few streets in Barcelona where I feel truly well. There are always enough people to run into one acquaintance or another, but always enough to go unnoticed if necessary. El Quadern Gris"

Carles Soldevila

"And so, mestiza, impure and picturesque, lighting a candle to Saint Michael and another to the devil, has it survived until today? La Rambla is not what it used to be. Agreed. But it is precisely in this permanent capacity to remain the most characteristic street of Barcelona, while continually changing its character, that lies the charm of this dethroned but undefeated queen, still capable of hope and projects."
