Barcelona’s El Raval has a fully vacant block after the last family living at Carrer del Tigre 24 was evicted on Thursday by the Mossos d'Esquadra, Catalonia’s regional police. The action followed an official order linked to structural risk at the early 20th-century building.
The family removed on Thursday were the last tenants still living in the block. Barcelona City Council’s urban planning department issued the structural risk notice and evacuation order for the address, while the Mossos confirmed the eviction in a press release.
The case is not being treated as a standard rent dispute. The council documents and police notice frame it as an enforcement action tied to the condition of the property, with the building now fully empty so works can proceed.
For readers following housing and safety issues in the city, the case sits within a wider pattern in older parts of Ciutat Vella. You can also see our coverage of a separate Raval eviction attempt for more context on how these cases unfold.
Barcelona City Council’s public material on eviction procedures involving the Mossos d'Esquadra explains how these operations are handled. The council’s Evicted lives project also sets out the human impact of losing a home in the city.
