Okay then I am going to Maria Del Mar.

The most direct route starts on the cornerof Carrer de Sant Pau andCarrer de Les Penedides.

Keep your head down and keep going,one blockpast hustlersscam artistswinos, stumblebums, derelictsand penitents

waiting in line for Confession.

Turn left atCarrer de la Unio.Go one block,past the Russian delicatessen,and cross the Rambla.

There, between portals of McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried Chicken is the entrance to Carrer de Ferran,the main drag of Barri Gotic.
