Carrer de Pelai (official Catalan name; sometimes called in Spanish Calle de Pelayo) is a major shopping street in Barcelona, one of the busiest in the city at daytime. It's the border between the central districts of Ciutat Vella and Eixample, and runs from the intersection of Plaça de Catalunya with La Rambla and the El Triangle shopping centre, to Plaça de la Universitat. It's named after King Pelayo of Asturias. The current Catalan-language name was approved in 1980 by the city council, but it bore that same name before 1900.[1]
