The district between La Rambla, the Ronda de Sant Antoni and Paral.lel is El Raval, where numerous buildings have been demolished to create urban spaces and new housing. From La Rambla, take Carrer del Carme, then turn right up Carrer dels Àngels to reach the most conspicuous symbol of this neighbourhood’s transformation: Richard Meier’s MACBA, or Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona ‹ [map] (www.macba.es). The museum is worth visiting for its architecture and the multicultural buzz in its square, where skateboarders, art lovers and locals all congregate. It has some fine abstract works and good temporary exhibitions. Next door is the ever-stimulating Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (www.cccb.org), a striking renovation of the Casa de Caritat. In this exciting space, dance, music, film and other activities explore the urban experience.
