The neighborhood: Ciutat Vella covers the Gothic Quarter, El Raval, El Born and Barceloneta, with medieval and 19th-century buildings and very narrow streets. It's the area with the widest mix of electrical setups in Barcelona — original, unrenovated sections often sit alongside recently renovated flats in the same building.
If a socket sparks when you plug something in, check our guide on sparks when plugging in appliances.
