What to do and see in El Raval, Catalonia: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

March 13, 2022 Rosalyn Ihle

Barcelona feels a bit surreal – appropriate, since Salvador Dali spent time here and Spanish Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí designed several of the city’s buildings. Stepping into Gaudí’s Church of the Sacred Family is a bit like falling through the looking glass - a journey that you can continue with a visit to Park Güell. Sip sangria at a sidewalk café in Las Ramblas while watching flamboyant street performers, then create your own moveable feast by floating from tapas bar to tapas bar.

Palau Guell

This palace was the home of industrialist Eusebi Guell and was Antonio Gaudi's first major building in the city..

Reviewed By Journey814115 - Charlotte, United States

This wonderful facility, just off the Rambla, provides a fascinating view of the early Gaudi (and the generosity of the Guell family.

Antic Hospital de la Santa Creu

Reviewed By DaveTheShorts - Menston, United Kingdom

We visited this place without the kids as they wanted time to explore the city before our planned visit to Sagrada Familia. So glad I found this place whilst researching Barcelona. After Parc Guell (a bit disappointing because so much of it is out of bounds for renovation) we walked down from the free bus stop and we were amazed at the beauty of these old hospital buildings right in the heart of the city. The stories told and the images show some great pieces of architecture. It is an oasis of calmness in the mad place that is Barcelona. It is tranquil and worth a trip for an hour or so. Great exhibits and it is being carefully restored to show what it was like when originally used as a hospital. Go now before it gets busy!

Las Ramblas

This pedestrian street is lined with outdoor markets, shops, restaurants, and cafes.

Reviewed By carpediemRP1 - Bruchmuehlbach-Miesau, Germany

Marked by a mixture of modern stores with traditional street food, vendors and several markets and side plazas, this long street covered in trees is an easy walk with something of interest the entire way. Easy walk from Placa Catalunya down to Port Zell along this walkway. Loved it.
