Avinguda del Paral·lel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Avinguda del Paral·lel (Spanish: Avenida del Paralelo, English: Avenue of the Parallel) is one of the main streets of the city of Barcelona. It receives this name because it is (unlike any other street in Barcelona) parallel to the Equator. It runs from Plaça d'Espanya, where the city's exhibition halls are located, to Plaça de la Carbonera and the passenger ship port, dividing the neighbourhood of Poble Sec from the neighbourhoods of Sant Antoni and El Raval.
El Paral·lel, as it is often called, is most famous for its theatres (there are three in the avenue, Apolo, Condal and Victoria), as well as cabarets and erotic shows.
