The longest street in Barcelona and in Spain is La Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes. And not only that: it ranks eleventh in the world.
No other street in the city or in the whole country competes with it.
It has 689 portals distributed along 13 kilometers of extension.
It is also very functional, as it connects the metropolitan towns of L’Hospitalet de Llobregat and Sant Adrià de Besòs.
The longest street in Barcelona, and the second longest, is also in the city.
On the podium of the longest avenues, the second place is also occupied by another street in Barcelona. This is the València street with 569 doorways that runs through a large part of the city.
Third place goes to Alcalá Street in Madrid, which is more than 10 kilometers long.
In addition to the first two places, Barcelona is proud to have other roads of great extension and that pass in some of its sections, by the Eixample district.
Other wide streets of the city are: Aragó, Balmes, Consell De Cent, Còrsega, Diputació, Mallorca, Muntaner, Provença and Roselló.
The urban grid of the Cerdà Plan was responsible for the city’s kilometer-long streets, which gives the city a grid structure.
The particular organization and design of the city has given it over the years a very characteristic design that makes it stand out as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.
