Cancelling Out Purple

El Raval

The Raval extends on the south side of the Rambla almost up to Montjuic. The word comes from Arabic and means suburb.

Raval was originally outside the city walls and housed during the industrialization of the large factories in addition to houses for the workers. Accordingly, the time was the high population density.

The lower part of Raval was formerly known as Barri Xines - boulevard and red light district. Although the city already (by the construction of the Rambla de Raval ) and today attempted by structural measures to improve the image of the district, it is the image of a quarter, not quite nefarious going on. Here, the upper part has now become a real trendy neighborhood with a large art / Skater-/Theater- and fashion scene. Here are also the modern MACBA and CCCB.

In contrast to the Barri Gotic, that's very touristy, is found in the Raval daily life in the midst of an ancient city. Mainly immigrants and artists live here.

Do not miss this wonderful area, but without leadership it is hard to find the nice places. German management, it is walking in www.paseo-barcelona.de

Barri Gotic

The Gothic quarter stretches on the north side of the Ramblas and Via Layetana between Rambla to Plaza Catalunya bis zum Meer.

Hier lag die von den römische Siedlung Barcino. Die Hauptstrassen der Römer, das Judenviertel und die Kathedrale sind nur wenige der erhaltenen Sehenswürdigkeiten vergangener Zeit.

Geniessen Sie die Sonne auf den Plätzen, schlendern Sie durch die engen Gassen des mittelalterlichen Barcelonas und entdecken Sie viele Schnäppchen in den kleinen Boutiquen.

Das Barri Gotic ist das älteste Viertel und zugleich das Meistbesuchteste.

A brief history : found

According to legend, the "La Moreneta", the little brown one, to 880 from a shepherd boy in a cave. The bishop wanted to bring to Manresa, but failed because it was too difficult apparently. So they interpreted this to mean that they wanted to remain at the site and built the Hermitage of Santa Maria.
Lange was also puzzled why the statue is black, candle soot, wonder ,...? Result: it is painted.

Send to Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe three kings at the port of their ship. There, they receive the name of the children and make a little speech.
