For our last class trip we visited El Raval, located on the left side of Plaza Catalunya. It is a very old area that is home to some of the older buildings and less wealthy people, it is also inhabited by a lot of younger people during the daytime.
We saw the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, which is the museum of contemporary art. The area is also home to the Universitat de Barcelona campus. The campus is currently undergoing some minor construction but appears to be a great area to hang out and go to class.
The area is slowly being redone; there are currently parks under construction and the government of Barcelona appears to be interested in adding much more green space into the narrow and dim-lit neighborhood.
