Wonders Of Raval was a photography project to document the weirdest things I found on the streets of the weirdest barrio of Barcelona, El Raval.

Raval was a mental place. It was one of the most central parts of Barcelona, but it was relatively cheap to live in because the apartments were quite run down and there was so much crime. It had some of the most lively streets, best bars, and strangest people in the city. We lived there for almost 4 years and seen the best and worst of it. I'm glad I lived there and glad I'll never have to live there again.
