We saw someone walking their dog through here and bundled ourselves in. A beautiful open space and rest away from the busy streets. There are a number of seating areas and the stairs and architecture is also really cool. If you’re looking for a quiet spot to enjoy a coffee then this is the place to do it.

Could and should be a beautiful quiet and tranquil space however it is a little intimidating with small groups of young men and homeless which does not lend itself to feeling relaxed. The smell of urine is also a little off putting but this may be due to a recent downpour.

One of the most beautiful squares in Barcelona. Beautiful arches, beautiful scenery, beautiful orange trees, and an incredibly southern vibe. I really recommend it to go, sit down, soak the atmosphere and keep exploring. Fully recommended place on the way to el Raval neighbourhood. Will be back!
