• Saturday farmers market sets up in the square most weekend mornings, with cheese, bread and local produce
• Cafe and bar terraces ring the square, so you can sit with a drink while kids roam the car-free paving
• Playground a few steps away, plus bakeries and pedestrian streets that make it an easy, low-key stop

Plaça de Sarrià is the heart of what still feels like a village swallowed by the city, a calm square in front of the Gothic church of Sant Vicenç de Sarrià. The pedestrian streets around it are full of bakeries and family-friendly spots, which makes it an easy, low-key stop away from the tourist crush.
