Tour description

Every city has that place, that space, where it turns invisible everything that bothers it and disturbs it.

This is the case of Raval, a neighborhood that since its inception has a history of marginalization and exclusion.

But like everything that wants to be silenced and hidden, the Raval shouts, shouts in favor of integration and art.

I invite you to discover the stories, legends, myths and iconic places of one of the richest neighborhoods in the world in culture and diversity
