The truth is Pascual finds plenty of the old Raval left in these crowded lanes; despite twenty years of ruthless urban renewal this warren of tenements hanging over narrow streets will never be mistaken for Sarrià or Gràcia. |
 |
...the Ribera, this ancient and rapidly gentrifying quarter near the port... |
 |
Beneath them lies the rumbling city, the port close at hand and the vivid blue sheen of the sea stretching away northward into the haze. |
 |
...the Ramblas, the great river of life that slices down to the port through the Old City, separating the Raval from the gothic Quarter. |

...when he turned it from a somnolent neighbourhood bodega into the Tavern del Born, a poster-bedecked café with artistic pretensions. |
