40/50.- Barcelona, Avinguda Diagonal - "La Caixa" HQ

These two large buildings you see belong to "La Caixa", the biggest savings bank in Europe (and in the world, I think).

Av. Diagonal is the biggest avenue in Barcelona. It is 10 km long. In this place where we are now it is more than 100 meters wide, with 12 lanes.

In the background you can see part of the "la Illa", with more than 300 meters it is the longest building I have ever seen. "La Illa" is a big mall where you can find all sort of shops. Next to it there's a great disco: "Bikini". Other recommended discos in this area are "Luz de Gas" (Aribau/Diagonal) and The Club (Tusset Street).

Did you know that here are more than 400,000 motorcycles in Barcelona?
