The Gothic Quarter is just east off the Ramblas and contains medieval Gothic buildings dating from the 14th and 15th century in what used to be the centre of old Barcelona. It's a maze of interconnecting dark streets linking with squares, and there are plenty of cafés and bars especially around Plaça de Sant Jaume where you can also find some cheap accommodation.
