Walkingplanets Barcelona

Raval neighbourhood, controversial though loved, represents the essence of the city. Experiencing the streets of the Raval with its true Catalan tradition and its cultural mix, is a must.

The Raval is an attitude, a way of life.

The East End in London, Soho in New York and Malasaña in Madrid- all have a marginal past in common from which they have projected themselves to become a trendy and fashionable ´hood. Since the nineties, MACBA and CCCB museums have attracted a considerable amount of hot art galleries, trendsetters, ecological restaurants and design bars. However, there is an unknown Raval.

Along our walk, we will come across the Royal Shipyards, an almighty civilian gothic building from 1283. We will go past the administrative buildings and the Romanesque church of Sant Pau, which is hidden in the middle of the hustle and bustle. All this and more, while walking round the narrow winding sunless streets, with record shops, ultra modern and artistic stores galore and high-end design boutiques. If it's funky, sassy, and possibly illegal, it's probably for sale in this district. We will finish at the mythic Canaletes Fountain, peregrination point for Barcelona Football fans located in the Ramblas. Raval has a look and feel unlike any other Barcelona district.
