Plaça del Sol

• Sandpit climbing frame in the center, ringed by open paving where kids run scooter-free since the square is fully pedestrian
• Cafe terraces all around, so parents can sit with a drink in sight of the play area
• Come in the morning for the calmest atmosphere; the square fills with a young evening crowd after dark

A fully pedestrian Gràcia square with a sandpit and climbing frame in the middle and cafe terraces around the edges. Kids run and clamber while parents take a table for a drink and tapas. Modernist facades with pink shutters and ornate balconies ring the plaza. Mornings are calmest; the crowd builds through the evening.
