- Welcome to the second of our Barcelona vlogs.
In this video, we explore Las Ramblas (La Rambla, The Rambles) in more detail.
We take a tour of the whole of Las Ramblas, stopping off at La Boqueria market and the Gothic Quarter.
We finish the video off with a well deserved pint down at the Marina.
La Rambla / Las Ramblas is a 1.2km, tree lined street in the heart of Barcelona. It is very popular with both tourists and locals alike.
Las Ramblas connects Plaça de Catalunya in the centre, with the Christopher Columbus Monument at Port Vell.

⭐ About Postcard & A Pint:
Welcome to the official Postcard & A Pint CZcams channel.
Postcard & A Pint was thought up by my partner, Rachel & myself, Wills one day while taking our daily 1 hour exercise during the lockdown of 2020. All of a sudden, we were spending more time together, not working 6 or 7 days a week in the arts industry, and binge watching travel programs, and we were actually really enjoying it, and it made us re-evaluate what was important in life for us. Now back to working 6 or 7 days a week again, with very little time off, our happy time is getting out there on our brief times off together and making short travel videos that we are now sharing with you. It's just a bit of fun, and great for our sanity. Your support is hugely appreciated x

Obviously there are pickpockets in Barcelona, but there are also them in all tourist cities. No more no less.
Fantàstic vídeo for a Fantàstic City ❤❤❤
Thanks so much for watching. We absolutely love Barcelona. We did this video as a second video to put main video - Barcelona on 24hours - for some reason this video has done far better than the other one ?which we think is a better video!!) - probably because we mention pickpockets - which you’re right, they’re in all tourist cities!! Cheers for watching. 🍻
Going to watch this when hubby back"or hissy fit time" debs xx
And we can’t have that!!! Hope you enjoy it 🍻

I love la rambla… need to go back soon
It’s a great area isn’t it. Thanks for watching 🍻
More of this amazing travel day. I so loved it. We had a lot of trouble taking many good photos in the Barri Gotic... everything's so tall and close! Those little markets you find everywhere though are a total treasure. Thank you for this Rach and Wills!
Tha is for watching. Yes you’re right it is tricky to get good footage in the Gothic Quarter. We love it in there though, it’s definitely where we’d stay when next in Barcelona. Thanks for watching 🍻
Hey guys, wonderful ramble through this quarter of Barcelona, loved hearing your past experiences with this city compared to what you see today. I loved this video, and Rachel I love listening to you 😊 your a star ⭐️
Ah thank you!! Like Las Ramblas, I just ramble on!! I’m sure many a person is yelling ‘shut up’ at the screen!! We love this section of Barcelona, so we were glad to share more of the footage we got. Thanks so much for watching and have a great week 🍻
wow. What a great presentation exploring this most famous street of the city. It took me to the memory lanes when I travelled here few years back. Loved the content.
Thanks for watching. It’s a great street and we love it! Glad we brought back some memories. 🍻
Smart and funny. Superb.
Ah thanks so much for watching. It’s a brilliant city and we love it 🍻
Amazing! Had no idea that Barcelona was such a bustling place...really is something! Indeed, love hitting the side streets...better bargains many times. The sun and warmth look so tempting. Wonderful explore for sure. Bruce and Otis
Thanks for joining us. Yes, it is probably the busiest tourist area of Barcelona and there were 4 cruise ships in that day too, so plenty more people in the mix! We love it though and the sun was so welcome. Have a brilliant week 🍻
What a beautiful city. Just absolutely love the atmosphere😍 Felt like I was travelling with you guys! Thanks for sharing awesome video👍 Liked 39💖
Ah thank you. It’s such an amazing city. We love it and it was so good to be back. Thanks for watching 🍻
Hello from South Carolina! Barcelona looks wonderful! Lots of people out and about...nice to see! Sue would love all the shopping and we would both love all the food! Nothing like a beer in the sunshine! Great video!
There is certainly nothing better than a beer in the sunshine! We love Barcelona, it’s a fantastic city. I hope you both get across to visit one day. Thanks for watching 🍻
Fantastic tour friend!!! Greetings

Wow, Barcelona looks absolutely fab. Love the street markets & it has some great history too. Never been myself but after seeing this it’s quite tempting. Thanks for taking us along both. X💕
Thanks Kim, you can get some absolute bargain flights with the budget airlines and it’s so accessible dm from the airport!! We look forward to seeing Kim’s pics of Barcelona! Thanks as always for your support 🍻

We are sitting her telling each other how we have to go back to Barcelona! You guys are doing such an amazing job in capturing this place! I love all the beautiful architectural buildings, flowers 💐 and the cafe. The food is really good in Barcelona. Thanks for taking us with you!
Ah thanks guys, we love this city! It’s so welcoming and friendly (we’ve never had a problem with the pickpockets, but know many who have). We’re glad to bring back your Barcelona memories! Thanks for watching 🍻
How FUNNN!!!
It was a really fun day!! Thanks for watching 🍻
Such a very beautiful place to see my friend. Keep it up and more vidz to come. Stay Safe and more blessings to you with your family my friend.
Thanks so much for watching. It is such an amazing city. We’re glad you enjoyed exploring with us. Take care and have a lovely week 🍻
Hi guys great to see Barcelona again and your tans ! We have had sun here in North Wales this week and got tans (or so we thought until seeing yours ! ) Great place and loved that beautiful church and busy market place . That moving statue was great too . Nice place. Loved this thanks for the tour. Hope you're enjoying Bank Holiday Weekend , catch you soon 💞🏴
You say tan?? It was more third degree burn if I’m honest! The weather has been good here lately hasn’t it! Thanks for joining us once again. Barcelona is such a great city and Las Ramblas is a great place to while away afew hours. Thanks for watching 🍻
Another crackin video guys. Loved the trip down Las Ramblas. Could do with some sun we are I a very rainy Cornwall at the moment. Waiting for the weather to break. Keep em coming. Top work. Catch you again soon. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Thanks both. Have a wonderful time in Cornwall, looking forward to your wanders in Cornwall. Hope the weather cheers up for you! 🍻
Oooh my gif so beautiful vlog
Amazing place
Thanks so much for watching and your kind words 🍻
thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching 🍻
Loved spending a "tacky tourist day" with you Rachel and Wills. Visiting a "pickpockets paradise" too! What could be better than that? We enjoyed the beautiful Gothic Quarter. The small streets, buildings and wonderful food were lovely and or delicious! But wait, if we lose our wallet we won't be able to afford to drown our sorrows, Rachel. Unless, your buying of course! Barcelona certainly has it fair share of shopping opportunities. Thanks so much for bringing us along!
I’ll buy you two a pint of Sangria any day!!! Thanks for joining us in one of our favourite cities. We love the gothic quarter too. We’re so glad we could show more of our footage in this video! Thanks for watching 🍻
This was amazing! Brought back so many wonderful memories! We ate tapas in that market! And I think I previously referred to the amazing Orxata we drank there… yum! 😋
It’s a wonderful place isn’t it. The atmosphere is incredible. Glad to stir up some happy memories 🍻
This video is making me so excited to go back to shopping at open markets!!! 😃
Get yourself to Spain, you can’t walk around the corner without falling over one!! 🤣
@@PostcardAndAPint I’m going everywhere else except Spain this summer! Lol
Very nice
Thank you 🍻
Tidy, what a beautiful place, it's funny that where ever you go in Europe you will always find a 'little Rhyl'.🤣
Like deployed 👍
Haha there’s always a bastard seagull on the bins (Wills wouldn’t let me say bastard on the V/O!). Thanks again for watching. It’s so cool you guys have made contact again after all these years. 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint it really is 👍
Your editing is FIRST CLASS! Plus, you two are adorable!
Wills is the editor, he is very good at it! I think you’re what we would call a couple of dufuss’s 🤣🤣
Rach you did an absolutely fabulous job on the narration!! Wills I always stay for the joke at the end…good one! On to the next video…~Cara 😊
Thank you. We love making them (and Wills always loves an excuse to tell a terrible joke - at least he has an outlet for them now 🤣). Thanks for watching and I hope you’re both well. 🍻
lovely, thanks for sharing, still cooldn't see my friends heheheeh
Hahahah, we have a wander through the market coming out this week, one last chance to find your pals. Thanks for watching 🍻
One of the best tourist attractions of Barcelon is Las Ramblas. No doubt you guys enjoyed the best of it with a pint, la boqueria, gelato, and everything else it has to offer. It's really a fun place. like 46
We certainly did!! We love Barcelona and are so glad it’s only 2 hours away from home. It was fantastic to be back on the Spanish sun once again! Thanks so much for watching. Have a brilliant weekend. 🍻
Heyyy Fam, ! What a wonderful tour you took us on !! I love how beautiful this looks !! Look at that water !!! Nice Video Fam ! 🥰🥰
Thanks for watching. It was a long but fun filled day (the full video is called Barcelona in a day). I know I wanted to jump in that water at the harbour. Thanks for joining us. Have a great week 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint Part of me would have just JUMPED IN lol
Tapas are so good! So many markets. Need some Spanish Christmas magnets. Gaudi statue is something else! 🍻
They certainly are!! Thank for he didn’t buy Christmas magents! To be fair our big fridge is in the utility room, so I wouldn’t have to look at the every day!! Thanks for watching and have a brilliant week 🍻
I love Las Ramblas. We really enjoyed it there. The only thing is I ironically lost my phone that day… interesting 🤔
We love it too and oh no!!! Bad times with your phone. Thanks for watching 🍻
What a lovely ramble round town. The pick pocket bit - I've had a cabin bag taken in an unguarded moment. Bother dash it all. Was quite an invasive feeling. Love Spain and have learned a thing or two ( three really). Found some wifi where we are at the moment. French Internet- well the least said the better.... bye for now. Great video, or have I said that already? 🤩 😂 🇳🇿 🙋♀️ 🇳🇱 🍺
Thanks for watching and commenting Anita. I hope you’re having an amazing road trip. My parents also lost a bag here too. We’re sorry to hear it happened to you. We’ve never had a problem, but are sooo vigilant whenever we’re there. We love Spain too it’s a great country. Can’t wait to go back. Bad times with the French internet!! 🤣. Have a great Sunday 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint The bag snatch was actually on Schiphol airport after our exhausting LONG TRIP back from Down Under. As you say, one unguarded moment. 🥴 The road trip so far so good. 👍 🍷 🍺
Loving your Barcelona videos guys! They are fab and so much fun to watch🤩👍. We have said it before but you guys do a brilliant job in the edit to create a really engaging video. Love the information covered too along with hearing your stories😊🙌. Loved the Gothic quarter and all the markets look amazing! This made us hungry watching!😋. Who doesn't need a tacky Spanish fridge magnet in their life? Our fridge is covered in them, Pete says i have a problem😆. Glad you managed to keep hold of all your valuables! Think it is just about being extra vigilant, i know we are overly cautious now after i got my bag with my passport in taken while in Disney world of all places!😳. So just shows petty crime happens everywhere! Keep the videos coming, we always look forward to your uploads. Have a great week ahead, Shell and Pete😊👍
Ah thanks guys. Loving you have a fridge magnet problem!! That’s amazing. You’re right about the mindset, I think if you give off the air of don’t mess with me, they leave you alone! You got your bag nicked in Disney, that’s awful!! The one place where you think you’re safe! Thanks again for watching, it’s been a funny old week in CZcams land! You go somewhere you think is amazing - Barcelona, and then everyone wants to watch Rhyl!! Who knew!! Have a brilliant week 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint haha that's so funny🤣. We do love your Rhyl video too. To be fair you two could make a great you tube video of taking the rubbish out and we would all still watch😊👊
@@o.bsoutdoors3871 ah bless you thank you!! Well June/July is insane work wise, so we might have to resort to that as a Vlog!!! Thanks again and I’m still jealous of your week in Tenerife- looking forward to the next one!! 🍻
The ice cream looked awesome. So many souvenirs! Beautiful church. It was such a long tome ago that I was in Barcelona, that I have forgotten so much of it. I love oysters. 🦪 Bloody seagulls 🤣 The Tapas was the best in Barcelona, and you are right about the pricing. Thank you for the tour Wills and Rachel. I recall one of my travelling companions was having their pack picked when we were on the train in Madrid. Spain's city is prolific with pick pickpockets. Loved the street entertainment. Massive monument. Great tour Rachel and Wills and a well deserved pint to finish off the day. 🍺 Oh those jokes Wills. Was that an original Wills joke?
Thanks So much for watching. You can never go wrong with an ice cream. We’ve never done tapas in the gothic quarter before (only up by our hotel a fair few years back by Sants station) the price difference was notable!! So many people we know have had bags stolen. We consider ourselves lucky it hasn’t happened to us. Barcelona is honestly one our favourite cities and we’re lucky it’s so close. A good day always ends with a pint !!! Wills jokes are always terrible!! Cheers for watching 🍻
Watched this with hubby last night,we both really enjoyed it"hubby always look forwards to will's jokes".Agree with you about tacky tourist made me laugh.Thank you for this and your other spain video's.i have always wanted to go here,but never got round to it.have a lovely bank holiday and stay safe debs xx
Ah thanks both. The flights can be really affordable if you don’t go at the height of season. We do love a tacky tourist shop!! It seems like so long ago now that we were there! We definitely want to go back and spend a few days and visit some of the places around and about of Barcelona! Thanks for watching and Wills has plenty more terrible jokes where that one came from!! Have a great week 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint ditto xx
Hello! Nice video, stay connected! 😊
Thanks so much for watching 🍻
What a wonderful place to explore and you can never have enough fridge magnets or jokes 🤣
Tourist souvenirs for days!!! Loved it. Thanks for watching and happy Sunday 🍻
looks great...all those people though.
I know! This was the first busy city we’ve come across since the pandemic! It was nice to see but did feel a bit weird. Thanks for watching and have a great week 🍻
Liked #25, great snippets of small taste of what Barcelona has to offer. Great city for Gaudi masterpieces!!! A kid was eyeing to steal my camera by following til I turned around and the kid pretended to havr lost something on the ground twice! My friend got his phone stolen the very next day! Cops only will chase them down if the value is more than 300 euros. They are dampers, otherwise a beautiful city! Happy to support your channel 😎 👍 take care
Oh no, I’m sorry you experienced this. To be fair we didn’t spot anyone this time eyeing up anyones belongings. It felt like a lovely spring morning. But I know it still happens. Hope your friend was ok 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint It's a life learning experience. Good thing no one was harmed. Have to be on extra guard and be aware of your surroundings when in Barcelona. Never get glued to the cellphone. Stay safe and enjoy!!! Yake care 😎👍
The seagull 🤣
There’s always a bloody seagull!!
Muy Bueno!!! I think it was around 2007 the last time we were in Barcalona and I think Las Ramblas still had some live animal stands. As far as petty crime went if you looked carefully, especially around the dodgy magicians and 3 card trick scammers, you could see the the pick pockets working the crowd. We loved La Boqueria - we wandered through sampling the jamon. Love jamon. I think there was a really good sandwich place (Cafe Swiss???) very close to the market that had great sangers and coffee. Plus it must've been in the gothic quarter there were, as you mentioned, awesome tapas and AND AND!!!! CHURROS!!!! Barca had some great churros. And tapas. So much tapas. I think next to Japanese food, tapas (and pintxos from up in the Basque country) is our fave, especially with un cañas de cerveza or dos. Oh and crema catalana. Gawd I love crema catalana. We met up with friends in Madrid (after Barca) and they were amused at the lengths I went to find crema catalana.
Dammit, you've got me rambling on about Spanish food again when I should be, I dunno, sleeping or making videos or something. 😂
PS during that 2007 Euro trip I was going through my "I must have a fridge magnet from every two bit town we visit". I came back with dozens and dozens... At least I could find a magnet almost everywhere. But when we first went to Rome some decades ago I was obsessed with finding a Pope Soap On A Rope. Never did find one. 😂
Ciao.
Cheers Shane, glad to rattle up some memories from your Barcelona trip. The first time me and Wills went there together the animal section was till there. Loved it as a kid, hated it as an adult. We don’t really do Churros, we’d rather have the jamon and dos cerveza!! Loved the little meat and cheese cones they were doing in the market though! Glad your fridge is well endowed with magnets now! We must share with you our favourite mug Jesus saves/Jesus shaves!! I think it would be up your street, bad times you didn’t get your pope soap on a rope!! Now be a good lad and go and edit some videos before bed!! Cheers as always for watching 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint Oh yeah, the meat and cheese cones. They are awesome. We had an embarrassing number of those the last time we were in Spain. And jamon bocadillo. I'm pretty sure the Spanish pork industry has my photo up somewhere with the word Gracias! underneath.
LOL Jesus Shaves... I did have a t-shirt with Jesus is Coming on the front, and Jesus is Going on the back 🤣
@@ShaneNixonFamily oh my!! Wills needs that T-shirt!! Love it! Spanish pork industry!! 🤣🤣🤣
Wills had a t-shirt saying, I found Jesus…he was behind the couch 😂…we also like the… God said to Moses, come forth….but he came fifth and won a microwave 😂😂
🤣😂
Congrats on over 6000 views on the Rhyl video!
Cheers Wills, took us a bit by surprise!!
Yes, more skipping to start the video, you just know it will be great! A sewage stream? 😱 It really does look like a lovely street now. The Lady of Bethlehem Church was stunning! Wills will have to go back there closer to Christmas! Kittens for sale on the streets? Yikes! Cheers to the beer! Charged by the stick for tapas, thats a clever idea! It certainly was bustling everywhere.those statues were amazing, apart from the one who wasn’t, he knows who he is! Not a pickpocket in sight apart from the person who had their phone pinched! Cheers to the good times! Brilliant joke at the end, very fitting! 🤣 🇪🇸
Thanks for watching guys. I’m determined to find a bridge soon to twirl on, just for you! Glad you enjoyed it. It was nice to see a busy city once again, we’ve only been to London and Liverpool in the pandemic and both were so quiet! We loved the church too. Thanks for joining us. 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint that will be absolutely awesome! It really was a real joy to see somewhere bustling! 👍
I’m SUPER careful about pick pockets 😉
We are too, I have my special
Mean face!! 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint I have my special Crossbody bag with uncuttable strap. And when I’m walking through crowded areas I have both my arms crossed over it holding it against me
Nice video of Las Ramblas! And the final joke... 😂😂 It's a shame that many offenders come to Barcelona to make a living though.
Thanks for watching. Yes it’s sad there is a problem, but I think if you are mindful, it needn’t be a problem. Sorry about the joke!! 🍻

Thank you so much for watching. It’s an amazing city. 🍻
Hace 4 años en un pub de Bournemouth (creo que lo digo bien) me vi envuento en una reyerta extraña entre borrachos o algo parecido en resutado fue que me desapercio la cartera.
Creo en todas partes hay estos problemas. Y cuanto más turismo haya peor. Si vas de turista a una ciudad y actuas como tal es tu perdición. Creo que es un fenomeno global.
You’re absolutely right. Sorry that happened to you in Bournemouth. I shop in Liverpool at Christmas and that’s renowned for it too, but I’ve never had a problem. I think as you say, if you act like a tourist you’ll always be more of a target - just keep switched on and there’s less chance of it happening to you. Thanks for watching 🍻

You must be careful of your personal belongings wherever you are.
True indeed! We always are. I Christmas shop is Liverpool!! 🍻
