El Raval
Barcelona's most multicultural inner district, mixing contemporary art, old hospitals and many cuisines.
El Raval has long been the most mixed district in central Barcelona, home to successive waves of migration and one of the city's most genuinely multicultural daily lives. The MACBA contemporary-art museum and the medieval Hospital de la Santa Creu anchor a quarter that swings between grit and culture within a single street. The Rambla del Raval, with Botero's bronze cat, gives it a broad central spine lined with cafés from a dozen cuisines. It rewards curiosity over caution and is best explored in daylight and without a fixed plan.
