Holiday Apartments in Raval, Barcelona

To the west of Las Ramblas lies El Raval - a controversial district of Barcelona which often finds itself at the centre of the most heated debates. Formerly notorious as being the red light district of the city, El Raval has undergone a real gentrification process over recent years, helped by the arrival of the impressive Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA). This cultural renaissance has created a district that’s lively, stimulating and remarkable. On the downside, parts of it are still very run down and even seedy, and it’s definitely not to everyone’s taste. Being based in this colourful district means you’ll be within easy walking distance of all things central, as well as close to two of the best fresh food markets in Barcelona – the Boqueria and Mercat Sant Antoni. Both of these are great options when it comes to stocking up your holiday apartment kitchen. If you’re tempted by the idea of experiencing the vibrant nightlife the area has to offer, you’ll find a list of our self-catering holiday homes below. All of them are high-quality, fully furnished flats, which provide a great base from which to explore the city.
