Do you want to know how this tradition started and
why is it that they haven’t chosen somewhere bigger or emblematic?
In 1930 there was “La Rambla”, a newspaper, subtitled Sports and Citizens, that had its offices in the building in front of where the fountain is now. Back then, because of the distance and due to not everybody had radios, it was quite difficult to know the results of the football matches, even more if the team played as visitor.
