BEWARE, This area is seedy as hell! Be careful not to go past dark. Thats all!

the key pc word for dangerous neighborhood, otherwise which would be called the "HOOD" in USA is called "multicultural" here in Spain.

Are you joking?. eek Chueca doesn't compare at all with El Raval. El Raval is one of the worst areas in Barcelona full of drug and violence whereas Chueca is a lively area with lots of modern shops, restaurants, cafes. Gay people love it and it's well known everywhere.
