Rambling vs. Ramblejar

According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, the word rambling means the following:

1 a : to move aimlessly from place to place b : to explore idly
2 : to talk or write in a desultory or long-winded wandering fashion
3 : to grow or extend irregularly

For me, this word has always been an extraordinary coincidence, since there is a catalan word, ramblejar, a neologism to express the fact of strolling along Les Rambles, the most famous avenue in Barcelona, that is close both in sound and meaning.

Walking along this street has become one of the main attraction of the city. This blog is gonna be a little like rambling, no direction, no aim, no main topic, just the pleasure of chaotically walking around a life in Barcelona. Fem un tomb? Let's take for a walk?
