The historic centre of Barcelona is the classic Roman Hexagon, somewhat irregular.
It seems to be defined not by Gaudi, but by La Rambla down which everyone walks, apparently tourists by day and locals by night, but I have seen tourists out at night walking there looking at the locals. And Placa Reial, where the locals don't eat as they know where the better food is at a fraction of the price. There is a Gaudi piece in the centre. It is said to be the most beautiful square in the world - it is said.
What caught my eye over 3 days was this guy and friend on bikes on La Rambla. The first of such people to whom I have given money, and in return for which action occurs.

All the rest of the people are also keen cyclists as these are everywhere. As befitting a poorer city, these are the most basic of such city bikes I have seen. They have a hard life.
