Plaça Reial
-
Late 19th–century elegance meets sangria–swilling café society in the arcaded Plaça Reial, one of Barcelona’s most emblematic and entertaining squares. The plaça is planted with towering palm trees and encircled by stately, 19th–century buildings. The Modernista lampposts were designed by a young Gaudí in 1879. At the square’s centre is a wrought–iron fountain representing the Three Graces. The square is the best place to start a big night out, with a cluster of restaurants, bars and cafés that draw the hoi polloi – including all sorts of shady pickpockets.
