Placa Reial

Placa Reial is an elegant square located just north of Las Ramblas in the El Raval district of Old Barcelona.

The square is decorated with tall palm trees.  A lovely fountain stands at its centre.

Placa Reial is a good place to enjoy a cold drink and simply watch the world go by.  It's quite likely that you'll be entertained by a performer of some kind during your visit.
