City Guide : El Raval

El Raval is a multicultural neighbour-hood split in 2 by the Carrer Hospital.

NORTHERN PART: the most interesting. Popular terraces, cheap (but often delicious) restaurants, and tired bars rub shoulders with lounge cafés, alternative boutiques, New
Age book shops, and amazing international exhibition halls.
  • MACBA : contemporary art museum.
  • Mercat de la Boquería : beautiful covered market. Artistic piles of fruit, vegetables, fish and seafood (closed on Sunday).
  • La Paloma : a mythical night club from the early 20th c, rococo ball-room. At 11pm, the elderly dancing to the sound of the brass band give way to the DJs and electronic music.
SOUTHERN PART: Barri Xinès, former red-light district where many famous artists lived, eg. Picasso.
  • Palau Güell : Gaudi (closed).
  • Marsella : absinthe bar, genuine decoration & nicotine patina!
  • El Cangrejo : kitsch transexual show.
