not sure about it being a covered river but la rambla in spanish means intermittent water flow from the arabic ramla - sandy riverbed
i think it was more of a term used to describe the flow of people through the official 'les rambles' containing all the interconnecting streets between placa de catalunya and port vell.
a truly wonderful place to visit
(i may be wrong though)
re salzburg - some beautiful architecture and plenty of mozart history
otherwise very expensive and imho if you aint there for the mozart then try somewhere else.
