Exploring the idea of coworking in Barcelona from a café chair with free Wi-Fi might seem tempting, but if you’re looking for more than just a space where your calls mix with the sound of espresso machines, a coworking like Ravalora’t – in the center of the Raval – could suit you.  

Whether you are a young entrepreneur with more ideas than budget, an aimless expatriate, or a neighborhood association looking for its next headquarters, here we offer you five reasons, seasoned with a pinch of irony, why this place is not just another coworking space. 

Reason 1. Location, location, and…

El Raval is a unique cultural and social enclave in Barcelona, ideal for those who want to be close to everything. By choosing a coworking near me in Raval, you benefit from a central location where everything is less than ten minutes away on foot, by bike or by metro. You will be in the heart of Barcelona, with access to everything that matters, from hipster bars, monuments, the port to escape with the ferry to Ibiza and even that library where you swear you will get to work seriously.

Reason 2. Flexibility of spaces

A coworking like Ravalora’t offers different types of workspaces, from fixed coworking spaces where you can leave your things on the table, to flexible desks in different locations to work sitting or standing to stretch your back.

If what you are also looking for is the privacy of a room by the hour or an office by the hour, you can reserve meeting rooms of different sizes and equipment. Are chairs just not your thing? Don’t worry, we have multipurpose rooms for up to 30 people to teach your group meditation or revitalization classes.

Furthermore, if you are a non-profit association, thanks to the Hub Espai Ravalora’t you can also have offices, meeting rooms or premises where you can establish your headquarters at street level.

Reason 3. Safety is comfort

At Ravalora’t, we treat safety with the same care as a barista treats his most artistic espresso. Our coworking space is custom designed to be cozy, big enough to feel free, but intimate enough to remember the names of all your deskmates. By promoting full-time rentals, we maintain a stable and familiar environment, where every face is familiar and every smile is genuine. 

Open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., we only offer daytime hours because – let’s face it – we all need some rest. But while you’re here, a center manager is always on the lookout, ready to solve everything from the mystery of the printer to ensuring only members can access it. And for those treasures you bring with you, we offer secure, locked storage – as safe as your own secrets. At Ravalora’t, security is not just a policy, it is part of our promise to offer you a space where you can work calmly with the confidence of being at home. 

Reason 4. Savings without sacrifices

At Ravalora’t, we eliminate the hidden costs of traditional rental by including all services in our rate, from internet connection to electricity, water, air conditioning, reception and business advice. Our facilities are equipped to work immediately, without the need for additional investments in furniture or equipment. And at the end of the day? Keep saving with our free or discounted outdoor activities like the ones we promote at Espai de Mar.

The social prices on our website, ravalorat.cat, are designed to be affordable and support a variety of professionals, ensuring that more people can benefit from a quality coworking space. At Ravalora’t, you save money and gain comfort and opportunities for professional growth in a safe and welcoming environment.

Reason 5. Networking that works

Networking transcends the simple exchange of business cards; At Ravalora’t we promote active synergies between neighborhood entrepreneurs, expatriates and associations, creating a vibrant and collaborative community.

Local entrepreneurs find in coworking a fertile field to connect with other professionals in the neighborhood, facilitating collaboration on projects that directly benefit the local community. These connections can lead to strategic partnerships and mutual business opportunities.

Expatriates, on the other hand, bring global perspectives and new skills, enriching the diversity of coworking. By interacting with local entrepreneurs, they can introduce innovative practices and open doors to international markets, in turn offering a valuable network of global contacts. At the same time, living with people from Barcelona increases the genuineness of the experience in our city.

The associations, for their part, act as community bridges, connecting local needs with resources and talents within Ravalora’t. Collaboration between associations and entrepreneurs or expatriates can result in joint initiatives that enhance both social impact and business growth.

These synergies not only strengthen each group, but also weave a network of support and cooperation that is greater than the sum of its parts.
