Raval
Map of Raval
El Raval (from arrabal, meaning "suburb" or "slum") is the area to the west of the Rambla, on the right as you walk toward the port. Although still rough and ready, El Raval has been gentrified and much improved since 1980, largely as a result of the construction of the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA) and the other cultural institutions
