Plaça Del Raspall
Articles also under Squares In The Grácia District:
The Plaça del Raspall is one of the most unique areas to be found within the city. What sets it apart isn't its architectural style or its urban layout. The square's special quality stems from its atmosphere, flavoured by its traditional role as a popular gathering spot for the neighbourhood's Gypsy population.
In this space, Gypsy and traditional Catalonian culture exist side by side, offering an interesting contrast between the two. Near the square a plaque remembers the celebrated musician Gato Pérez. He was the author of the famous rumba "Y ahora vengo yo... cantando aunque no sea moreno". If Catalonia was the birthplace of rumba, then this corner in Grácia still conserves its roots in the best and most authentic manner.
