• Fence-free play area reopened in 2025 with new climbing frames and slides, so younger kids can roam with no gate to manage
• Arcade terraces wrap the square, so you can sit with a coffee and still keep eyes on the playground
• Two minutes from the Rambla but with almost no through traffic, an easy calm break between sightseeing stops

Less than 200 meters off the Rambla, this is one of the old city's calmest corners: traffic-free, tree-shaded, and built around a 2025-renovated, fence-free play area set right into the square. Three small bar-restaurants line the arcades, so parents can sit with a coffee while kids move between the climbing frames and slides a few steps away.
