A Barcelona street view in 1968 – here looking southeast down the Via Laietana (or Vía Layetana in Spanish). This road is a major thoroughfare in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, in the Ciutat Vella district. The avenue runs from Plaça Urquinaona down to Plaça d'Antonio López, by the seafront, and separates the neighbourhoods of the old city on either side (La Ribera/El Born and Sant Pere on one side and Barri Gòtic on the other). Here pedestrians cross the road where the Carrer de les Jonqueres joins on the left. Carrer Comtal is the first street on the right.

This image is from an old, grainy amateur Agfa colour transparency. It will look slightly soft if used at too large a size – a vintage 1960s photograph.
