Art rooms, a proper dinner and a late turn off the Rambla.

Contemporary art with the Raval right outside. Give the galleries your attention, then return to the life of the square.

Bar Cañete
Make the table the centre of the evening. A Catalan and Mediterranean stop between the Raval’s galleries and a later night out.

Moog
A late turn off the Rambla. Pick a DJ, leave the dinner plates behind and make the small hours part of the plan.

The Cult of Beauty
An afternoon for questioning what we call beautiful. Take the exhibition’s questions out into the Raval afterwards.
