El Raval (the slum) is still a warren of thieves and prostitutes, but this reputation is slowly fading over time. Recent development is rapidly adding refurbishment to parks and museums now scattering the streets with a new born vibrancy. It is still home to some rather unsavory characters but now is becoming very trendy. A must do is visit Rambla de Raval the palm-filled, fruit cake flooded boulevard, where the ethnic Monraval market thrives on Saturdays. A must see for skaters and the youth alike is the MACBA (1 Plaça dels Angels; 34-93-412-0810; www.macba.es; closed Tues) museum, go there and watch the afternoon fade away.
