The area will be between Av. Diagonal and Gran Via, C/ Balmes and C/ Pau Claris, also extending along La Rambla.
Wheeled transport, including bicycles and personal mobility vehicles, will not be allowed to circulate in the following streets from 10 pm on 22 April to 4 am on 24 April: Pg. de Gràcia, as far as Av.

Moreover, traffic will also be restricted in La Rambla and in Pl. Catalunya it will be reduced to one lane of circulation on the Llobregat side. Other disruptions may affect the streets that reach the perimeters of the literary block and La Rambla, depending on the volume of people and occupancy of road surfaces.
