Day 4 in Barcelona: Gracia, El Raval, and La Rambla
Like on our second day in Barcelona, we again took to the streets and explored a few different areas of the city. It was a Saturday, so we bumped into a few different street markets, lively with friends meeting at cafes and families strolling together. We first took to Gracia, an area of the city that used to be a village unto itself until it was swallowed up by larger Barcelona. Gracia was a relaxed neighborhood with lots of families and small shops and a neighborly feel.
Next, we walked a few of the streets of El Raval, an area close to the well-known La Rambla street. This area was a bit more hip, a bit more multicultural, and had hundreds of photogenic little nooks.
As the evening set in, we joined the lively street of La Rambla. We had dinner and sangrias and stayed around to watch the artists and street performers show off their crafts.
