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.
