Due to the large number of immigrants, the El Raval area in Barcelona is often called Chinatown, although there are not many Chinese themselves here. This historic district of Barcelona, located near the port, on the territory of the Old City, until recently, tourists tried to avoid it. El Raval was considered a slum area of the Catalan capital. Prostitution and crime flourished here.
Gradually, the area is returning to normal life. In addition to numerous bars and restaurants, you can visit attractions such as the Church of Sant Pau del Camp, the Museum of Modern Art of Barcelona, see the famous sculpture "Raval Cat" and take a look at the most popular market in Barcelona - La Boqueria.
