La Rambla may have its detractors, but the vast majority of tourists (the ones that don't fall prey to the pickpockets), will enjoy a stroll down this colourful boulevard which is brimming with activity, nefarious or otherwise, day and night. Winged demons terrify old ladies, silver cyclists freeze in mid-motion and flamenco dancers clap their castanets... and that's just the street performers. Hawkers ply their trade, be it tacky souvenirs or supermarket priced beers, party-goers wend in and out of the numerous bars and cafes and ladies of the night catcall at groups of lads who lap up the attention. Undoubtedly La Rambla (commonly referred to in plural form, as Las Ramblas) has a sleazy element to it, but sometimes its fun to walk on the wild side.
