Why is it called Sin Street?
The origin of its name is not as morbid as one might imagine. Although the name evokes the red light district of Amsterdam, where sins are displayed in shop windows, or the Montmartre neighborhood of Paris, where the famous Moulin Rouge is located, this street was a reference for the Catalan nightlife in 1956.
