Photo: We want our rambla of before 1992! (sic)

20 years ago, the catalan government and the Barcelona municipality decided to kickstart the renovation of the crime stricken area of Raval by running down 5 blocks of buildings in the heart of the quarter, to make room for a new boulevard called Rambla del Raval.

Clearly, not everyone was happy with the outcome. More than 15 years after the Rambla del Raval was born, the colourful old chap on the picture is still clamoring for the clock to move back, while ranting against the excesses of tourism at the same time.

Even locals seemed baffled by the show.
