El Raval (Catalan pronunciation: [\u0259\u026b r\u0259\u02c8\u03b2a\u026b]) is a neighbourhood in the Ciutat Vella district of Barcelona, Spain. The area, especially the part closest to the port, was also informally known as Barri Xin\u00e8s or Barrio Chino, meaning „Chinatown“. El Raval is one of the two historical neighborhoods that border La Rambla, the other being the Barri G\u00f2tic, and contains some 50,000 people.<\/p>\n
An area historically infamous for its nightlife and cabarets, as well as prostitution and crime, El Raval has changed significantly in recent years and due to its central location has become a minor attraction of Barcelona. It currently has a very diverse immigrant community (47.4% of its population was born abroad[1]), ranging from all South America, Pakistanis and Indonesians, to a more recent Eastern European community, especially from Romania. It is home to many bars, restaurants, and night spots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":316586,"parent":2088,"menu_order":11,"template":"","class_list":["post-115655","location","type-location","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/barcelonaroom.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location\/115655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/barcelonaroom.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/barcelonaroom.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/location"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/barcelonaroom.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/barcelonaroom.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location\/2088"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/barcelonaroom.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/316586"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/barcelonaroom.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
