Together with important Gaudi works and also the Colon Monument being at the very start of the "notorious place" with the Plaza de Catalunya at the other end leading to Passeig de Gracia where I stayed. It's also the main route to the port and marina, and a vital hub on the metro system.
It is very difficult to avoid the central commercial part of Barcelona which stretches for almost 3/4 of a mile heading west/east to the sea. It's not like some out of the way seedy area.
Anyhow to test your rationale, I went to to see some museums, a picasso gallery, most of the famous gaudi buildings, the telerifico, and Sagrada Familia. I also walked down the Ramblas and went to an Irish pub. Should I have had it coming under your logic?
You've had it coming a while. What you have done I presume, is built your own defence mechanism.
