04 · El Raval

El Raval: convents, markets and urban life

El Raval’s streets bring together different stages of Barcelona’s expansion, a diversity also reflected in its buildings.

From the outskirts to the walled city

El Raval developed among paths, gardens and convents before becoming part of the medieval walled city. Sant Pau del Camp preserves traces of that earlier setting. Later urban growth and industry transformed the neighbourhood and its housing. Historical source: Meet Barcelona · El Raval.

La Boqueria, a local landmark

La Boqueria market’s foundation stone was laid in 1840. Its Modernista entrance arch followed in 1913 and its metal roof in 1914. The market’s position beside La Rambla helps locate El Raval’s eastern edge. Historical source: Mercat de la Boqueria · Història.

What to check when valuing an apartment

Light, ventilation and building condition can vary greatly between nearby streets. Check floor level, lift access, layout and actual floor area before applying an average price per square metre. Recorded sales provide a starting point for comparing similar homes.

What these
figures tell us

A useful comparison starts with understanding what each figure measures. Open the historical tables and read the notes accompanying each indicator.

Are these asking prices or recorded sale prices?

The market section uses averages from recorded transactions, based on notarial statistics published by the City Council. These differ from the asking prices shown on property portals.

Why do the reference dates differ?

Sales, cadastral, population register and income data are released on different schedules. Each section shows its reference period. Viewing this page today does not mean all indicators relate to the same year.

Does the average floor area cover all homes?

The sales section measures the homes that were sold. The housing stock section measures homes recorded in the cadastre. These are different populations, so their averages can differ.

What do “Suppressed” and “Not published” mean?

“Suppressed” means the source withholds the information to protect confidentiality. “Not published” means no value is available for the category and period shown. Neither expression means zero.

Can I value my home using the price per m²?

The neighbourhood average is a general reference. An individual valuation requires an assessment of the exact location, floor area, floor level, lift, natural light, condition and building characteristics, together with suitable comparable properties.
