Raval Neighborhood
Located near the city centre of Barcelona, El Raval has a very special and interesting character. A district that was once infamous for its unsavoury characters, its culture of crime, and its prostitution corridors, it is now a multicultural neighborhood full of exciting sights and restaurants.
The MACBA, an imposing museum, is located in the heart of El Raval, which is also home to the CCCB, one of Europe's most important urban culture centers. As part of the gentrification process, many new businesses have been built, and a number of historic buildings have been restored and renovated.
Rambla del Raval is one of the main streets in the neighborhood, and is the perfect spot for foodies and young adults. This is also the site of many of the city's best street art, which is protected by the city.
Raval was once an agricultural area outside the medieval city walls. It was one of the poorest areas in the city, but it has now been turned into a hip and trendy district. It is filled with restaurants, bars, and unique boutiques.
The area has also been a refuge for many war veterans who fled from the Spanish-American war in 1900. Today, the community is a multicultural one with large Sikh and Muslim communities.
Raval also houses a new University of Barcelona campus. The University has relocated from its previous location on La Rambla to a larger site in the neighborhood.
The neighborhood is also home to one of Barcelona's oldest churches, the Monastery of Sant Pau del Camp. It has dark history, but has recently undergone a huge renovation, including a new building.

FAQ
What advantages are there to taking a tour with one of your guides?
At the same time, you'll encounter culture and relaxation. Say goodbye to books where it could be tough to obtain information and the feeling of missing something significant without fully understanding what it was. The fastest admission to museums or monuments will be available to you owing to the badges worn by our guides.
Changing tour options
Any experience can be changed according to its cancellation policy. We may be able to make adjustments to your reservation if the activity permits cancellations.
However, if a reservation cannot be canceled, we will be unable to alter the tour's itinerary.
Your request to change your reservation will be reviewed by our local operator, who has the last say on whether or not your request will be honored. Our ability to meet your needs is uncertain, but rest assured that we will do all in our power to do so.
Which languages do you support at the excursions?
Our tours are offered in multiple languages, so if you're interested in taking one of them but don't speak that language, be sure to schedule it in the language you do. First, open the city's file and use the filter sidebar to choose the language in which you'd like the tour to be given. This will filter the results to only show those in the preferred language.
The guide was really kind and skilled at talking in a way that piqued your interest and kept you focused on the city's attractions! I'd strongly advise it.
