Barcelona’s Raval is the setting for a new HBO Max series inspired by the eviction of the historic restaurant Can Lluís.
The drama centres on the family behind the business and the pressure created by property speculation, using the neighbourhood as the backdrop for that conflict.
Can Lluís has long been part of the Raval’s local identity, and the series takes that real-life dispute as the starting point for its story.
