Avinguda del Paral·lel

This broad avenue links Plaça d’Espanya with the port side of Barcelona and carries the city’s old theatre district. Walk it for surviving performance façades, then pick a show separately.

Avinguda del Paral·lel

Why go

Paral·lel makes sense if you want to see where Barcelona’s cabarets and music halls once clustered. El Molino and the Apolo, Victòria and Condal theatres give the street a clearer identity than its traffic does. The avenue also joins useful points between Montjuïc and the waterfront.

What to look for

  • El Molino’s cabaret frontage recalls Paral·lel’s entertainment past.
  • The Apolo, Victòria and Condal theatre façades mark the avenue’s performing arts strip.

Useful to know

  • Walk the theatre stretch before deciding whether to book a performance; each venue has its own programme.
  • Use Plaça d’Espanya or the Paral·lel end as a starting point rather than treating the entire avenue as one stop.
