I lived there for 8 years and that's 100% true. "La rambla" (in singular, not plural) is one of the most unpleasant places that the city has to offer: restaurants selling disgusting food at 3x the price of a modest (but good) restaurant, people selling Mexican sombreros (wtf!?!?), pick-pockets and other people trying to rip you off.
Why someone would go there voluntarily is beyond me. Barcelona has a lot of nice places and stuff to see, it's where the tourists never go.

curse of the tourist town. every city with high tourism has an area like this.
