Talk:La Rambla, Barcelona

message: The definition given by the article is completely false. The 'rambla' is a general urbanist term for this type of special square which can be found all over Catalonia. The Las Ramblas is just the main-central rambla in Barcelona and not the sole representative of the word 'rambla'. The current state of the article would be the equivalent of renaming the article Trafalgar square to Square, London. So to correct this, the article should be renamed first to Rambla, Catalonia and then it should get rewritten from Scratch by a local/Spanish person or at least someone who knows what they're talking about. Because frankly right now it looks as if the article was written by a bunch of passing tourists who did not pay good attention to their tourist guide. Miskin (talk) 13:31, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

message: La Rambla is an incorrect title as it is not in fact one single Rambla, actually it is called Las Ramblas as it is made up of five ramblas rather than just one as the title suggests. This official tourism article of Barcelona titles it as "Las Ramblas" http://www.barcelona-tourist-guide.com/en/ramblas/barcelona-las-ramblas.html Also when I went to Barcelona my tour guide specifically told us that is not La Rambla as several towns and cities in Spain have La Rambla but Barcelona is individual as it has 5 consecutive Ramblas. As I do not have an account on Wikipedia nor do I have anyone elses opinions but I strongly advise people, who have the authority to do so, to change the title. 82.5.224.82 (talk) 18:58, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with the anonymous person above. Not only does the tourist office refer to this street in plural, so does the city council (in both Catalan and Spanish). Has anyone else got a view on this? 88.0.86.203 (talk) 07:23, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The current version of the City Council website refers to "La Rambla"  [ http://meet.barcelona.cat/ca/descobreix-barcelona/districtes/ciutat-vella/la-rambla]  as of 10:58 AM August 18, 2017 (EDT)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.190.217.71 (talk) 14:59, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: "Everybody" calls it "Las Ramblas": when I was there (I was specifically told to use the plural), in the current New York Times, and so on.  Americans and other foreigners who look it up will look for "Las Ramblas".  The City Council may not be the ultimate authority for the article title, just as the birth certificate is not the ultimate authority for the title of a biographical article.  I admit I'm not an authority but I vote for changing it back to what most people and places seem to say.  If people wish, I can poll Barcelonans I know.  Zaslav (talk) 04:35, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Renaming it is definitely a possibility, but if it's renamed, it should be done b/c all the media outlets I've seen are calling it Las Ramblas. 2601:204:C900:9F63:4C36:B22:B988:CC13 (talk) 07:21, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

text: Just want to mention that, whilst I can't provide a source (hopefully somebody else can), it is sometimes referrred to in English as "The Rambles" (rhyming with shambles). Shouldn't all possible names be given in the lede? Abc30 (talk) 13:38, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
