El Raval

El Raval is a vibrant area, with cutting-edge exhibitions at the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art and adjacent Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona. Bohemian bars, hip design shops and street art fill the surrounding streets. La Boqueria market on La Rambla avenue sells seafood, wine and tapas, while laid-back cafes line Rambla del Raval. The Maritime Museum displays replica boats in medieval shipyards.
