El Raval (Catalan pronunciation: [əɫ rəˈβaɫ]) 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 Xino, meaning "Chinatown". El Raval is one of the two historical neighborhoods that border La Rambla, the other being the Barri Gòtic, and contains some 200,000 people.
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), ranging from Pakistanis and Indonesians, to a more recent Eastern European community, especially from Romania. It is home to many bars, restaurants, and night spots.
The northern border of the neighborhood is marked by Plaça Catalunya and Plaça Universitat, and the street which connects them, Carrer de Pelai. It ends in the east with La Rambla, and in the west and south, the neighborhood is delimited by Ronda Sant Antoni, Ronda Sant Pau and Avinguda del Paral·lel.

Ma force
Moi le laissé pour compte
De cette meute animale
De ce monde catastrophe
Qui s'emballe qui s'emballe
Et j'ouvre mon cœur à ces balles
À ces tireurs de flèches
Ces visages pâles
Qui m'ont cloués des nues
À l'arrière des maisons
Sous ma lune en goudron
Et j'ai fait le tour de séjours atroces
Sans mal sans mal
Et j'ai fait le tour de cette lune féroce
