Las Ramblas is a 1.2 kilometer long pedestrian mall in the center of Barcelona that runs from Plaza Catalunya down to the Christopher Columbus monument near the harbor (the famed explorer was greeted back from his first voyage here in Barcelona by Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand). This is a very popular place for both tourists and locals, with storefronts on the sides and rows of outdoor vendors in the middle. Here you can find anything from restaurants to street performers to flowers to ice cream to pets. There was a great market off Las Ramblas also where we stocked up for breakfast and picnic supplies. It is every tourist's duty to do a few laps on this entertaining stretch of boulevard.
palomas (pigeons)
jamón (ham)

animales domésticos (pets, at one of the outdoor vendors, surprisingly)
flores (flowers)
...and chocolates (chocolates -- one of the easier translations)
