Barcelona: A city shut down by COVID-19
Spain has been one of the countries hit hardest by the pandemic. The impact is particularly visible in Barcelona, where small businesses, bars and restaurants largely rely on the millions of tourists who normally visit.
Hanging in there
El Raval, Barcelona s multicultural neighborhood in the city center, is one of the areas with the highest numbers of COVID-19 cases.
Food for thought
Every morning, hundreds of people line up outside the San Agustí church in the center of Barcelona to receive food. Martin Bartkiewcz reads the newspaper with his friend, while waiting for food. He lost his job and house a few months ago and now lives on the streets of El Raval in Barcelona.
