El Raval Barcelona

El Raval, a historic neighborhood of the Ciutat Vella district, is a diverse melting-pot of those on the way up from, and those on the way down to, the bottom of the pile. Particularly in the Upper Raval, art galleries, restaurants and late-night bars are making inroads. The MACBA (the Modern Art Museum of Barcelona) and the CCCB are two major cultural centres that add a different kind of sharpness to El Raval’s traditional edge. La Boqueria, a famous market, is also situated in El Raval.
