If you’re thinking about going to Barcelona to have a walk around the city, put on some comfortable shoes. This is because you are about to discover a city with 14 of the 20 longest streets in Spain. The Gran Vía de Les Corts Catalanes tops the list, with 689 street numbers that extend along a stretch of 13 kilometres. The second street on the list is also located in Barcelona. It is the Calle València. It is followed by the Calle Alcalá in Madrid and the Calle de La Azalea in Alcobendas (outskirts of Madrid). This ranking appears in a report presented by the telephone information company 11811. The study is based on the number of telephone subscribers on each street, i.e. the street numbers that correspond to a dwelling or business. While you are in Barcelona, if you would also like to take a stroll down the shortest street in the city, look for it in the area of Born, near the Santa María del Mar church. It only has one street number and close by there are some bars where you can sit down and have a rest after such a long excursion.
