El Raval is one of the two historical neighborhoods that border La Rambla and has a very diverse immigrant community with half of its population born abroad, ranging from all South America, Pakistan, Philippines and Romania.
It is home to many bars, restaurants, and night spots historically infamous for its nightlife and cabarets.
