Raval street art Before and Now, by Replete on Aug 7, 2008 23:33:24 GMT 1, When I was last in barcelona a few months ago after a couple of years absence I was shocked at how much the scene had changed since I was there in 2004. Most of the quality pieces and productions, the paste ups and stickers that adorned every surface in the raval had been removed almost entirely and nearly all the halls of fame being shut down or demolished.
They'd been replaced by massive amounts of tagging and dubs on practically every door and shutter in the area.
Talk about shooting yourself in the foot as the local government cant think things have changed for the better by trying to clean up the area and removing a lot of it's unique spirit all in the name of gentrification:{

I remember my first trip to Barca, finding my first miss van was amazing. when I went back last year they were really hard to come across. Same with all those dafce's and TLP pieces hardly any of those to be sen nowadays.
