Local people will have the chance to take a stroll around the Literary Superblock on 23 April, with the area between Gran Via and Diagonal and between Balmes and Pau Claris again free of cars and set aside for stalls selling books and roses. This year’s superblock also reaches Ciutat Vella via La Rambla, and Gràcia, via Gran de Gràcia.
