Portal de l'Angel
This popular street is one of the busiest in the city, being home to a large number of commercial establishments, and offers a good gateway for the Gòtic neighbourhood from Plaça de Catalunya. It divides into two at its end and continues towards C/ la Portaferrissa on one side and Avinguda de la Catedral on the other.
Placa de Sant Jaume
The Plaça Sant Jaume has been the city's political centre almost since its inception. Today the Plaça Sant Jaume is an open space, a "lung" in the middle of the Gothic Quarter. The square is the site of the most important buildings in the lives of Barcelona and Catalonia: City Hall and the Palau de la Generalitat.
The avenue of the Catthedral which links the Plaça Nova to the Via Laietana, is a wide promenade - a haven for skaters - running all the way to the flight of steps in front of the cathedral, before the Pla de la Seu. This square, built in 1421, is famous for the «Fira de Santa Llúcia», which takes place every year on the 8th December at which locals buy all sorts of the accessories for the Christmas crib. The square is surrounded by two beautiful houses, Casa de la Canonja and Casa de l'Ardiaca
