GrÓfica de les Rambles is FiliÆs travelogue and photographic diary of the most striking and inventive signs for restaurants and hotels, farmÓcias and pastisserias, the workshops of artisans, and grand department stores. This follow-up to Graphica della Strada: The Signs of Italy and Graphique de la Rue: The Signs of Paris is a love letter to Barcelona and a trove of inspiration forall those who admire the city of GaudÝ.
