Carrer de Balmes, Barcelona

As with most of the other large streets in the area, it is 20 metres wide, with the difference that its sidewalks are less broad than the average.

The street is expected to come under an extensive reform project in 2009, which will see its five lanes be reduced to four - one of them reserved for buses and taxis like it is today.

The pavements on either side will also be enlarged and trees will be planted to make the busy street more pedestrian-friendly.

[1] Carrer de Balmes is also part of the so-called Gaixample, Barcelona's gay village and hosts one of its most famous clubs, Arena.

Banc Sabadell is headquartered at the crossing of Carrer de Balmes with Avinguda Diagonal.
