Overview

Begin your Raval Walking Tour outside the church of Sant Pere Nolasc Mercedaris, located right by the Plaça de Castella. From here, you’ll journey through the vibrant streets of Raval neighborhood. First up, we’ll visit the Casa de la Misericordia, where children were abandoned and some (they say) still walk the halls. Then we’ll stroll down Raval vibrant streets and when you least expect it we’ll stop by the place the Vampire of Raval used to live. But, do vampires ever die? You’ll see for yourself how the lines between life and legend blur with this story of Barcelona’s most infamous serial killer. At the former Hospital of la Santa Creu, wander the garden where shows and spells of the most macabre once took place. We’ll continue to the Church of Sant Pau del Camp, Barcelona’s oldest church with a troubled past. Next you’ll discover Raval southern side. Hear shocking tales of the clubs and cabarets that used to be the main attractions here and a great place to see street art, too.
