CITY TOURS SELECTION
From la Estación de Francia, right in the opposite
side one can see Comerç street. On this street,
on the hand right, one finds the popular Market of the
Born that, at the present, is not used as a market. During
the works that were carried out in its interior in order
to turn it into library, workers discovered important
ruins of medieval Barcelona. On the height of the market,
on the left hand, one sees the Passeig del Born.
The avenue is the axis of this district that in the XIII
and XIV centuries was the neuralgic center of the city.
In this avenue one can have a coffee in the afternoon
in the places like "Miramelindo" .
At the end of the avenue one can continue strait through
Santa Maria street or turn to the right to Montcada street.
In Montcada street there are some museums: The Textile
and Indumentary Museum, the Barbier-Mueller Museum and
the Picasso Museum. If one has time to make a shutdown
on this street, it is recommended to stop to "tapear"
in the "Xampanyet" and try the Anchovies of
the house.
Back to the Paseo del Born, Santa Maria street leads until
the gothic church of Santa Maria del Mar, located in an
always concurred placita. From Plaza Santa Maria one cae
walk to l'Argenteria street that leads until the Via Laietana
(metro: Jaume I).
