Un espai al marge

Author/s: Ferran Aisa and Mei Vidal
Co-edition with: Editorial Base

It began as an area on the margins, outside the walls (from the Arabic rábad) and turned into the Barri "Xino" [Chinatown], the Fifth District. El Raval is at the heart of Barcelona, a synthesis of the port's ambience, the splendour of Paral·lel and the cosmopolitanism of the Rambla. A haven for immigrants, workers and artistic and rebel spirits. In short, the history of this neighbourhood, from its origins to the latest round of remodelling.
