Tour description

We present you the best option to discover another side of Barcelona through one of its most roguish and enigmatic neighbourhoods : El Raval.

We will visit the famous modernist taverns and some of the most traditional shops and venues in this part of Barcelona.

Let's try to take you to the middle of the 19th century so that you know what the day-to-day life of the so-called Chinatown was like.

We will talk about topics that were and still are the most controversial: the workers' struggle, prostitution, illnesses or the poverty of the Raval.

Realities and fantasies that combine in a neighborhood full of secrets and stories to discover...
