    La Raval, formerly the working men’s quarter outside of the city wall of Barcelona, is now full of immigrants from all over the world—especially from Africa and the Middle East. It is possibly the most culturally diverse neighborhood in Barcelona.

    On my second day in Barcelona, a warm Sunday night, I was heading back to my hotel from visiting an exhibit at CCCB (Center of Contemporary Culture of Barcelona). I walked into a mega skateboarding scene in front of MACBA (Museum of Contemporary Arts), where 50-60 skateboarders were skating in all directions on many different levels of open platform. Groups of people from all walks of life were hanging out around the platforms. It was truly a fiesta amongst skateboarders.

    Via an impromptu interview with a resident in La Raval, I learned the history of skateboarding culture in the city of Barcelona. I also had a chat with Canadian architect Rafael Gomez-Moriana (who teaches architecture in Barcelona) about the history of La Raval and the design of CCCB & MACBA.
