Answer 1

It's, supposedly, the worst place to live in Barcelona!

Just... say no!

Have a look at that:

Highlight:

"This unfortunate legacy has left La Mina today with the greatest social deprivation within the Barcelona metropolitan area. It suffers from an urban layout which has created enclosed streets within a fortress-like setting, marginalised from the outside world. Population and housing densities are very high, homes are of poor quality with very limited living space. It has above average numbers living in conditions of poverty, with illiteracy levels running at 25%. Unemployment, employment in the informal sector and absenteeism from school are all very high. The degradation of the community has been intense, with high crime rates and serious social fracturing."

Answer 2

In Barcelona a lot of people say that is the worst place.

But if you are looking for heroin could be a good place.
