Overview
Why visit el Raval
Few destinations in Spain match the distinguished energy of el Raval. El Raval (Catalan pronunciation: [əl rəˈβal], Spanish pronunciation: [el raˈβal]) is a neighborhood in the Ciutat Vella district of Barcelona, the capital city of Catalonia. The neighborhood, especially the part closest to the old port, was formerly (informally) known as Barri Xinès or Barrio Chino, meaning "Chinatown". A blend of natural beauty and forward-thinking development makes this city a compelling stop on any travel itinerary.
