Plaça de Prim

Mostly sitting and talking on the shaded benches on the sand, with children loose in the middle at weekends, probably busiest in the late afternoon and evening, all year.

Kids playing the open sand in the middle of the square, between the trees and the terraces

Children are let loose on the sand in the middle while the adults sit at the edge with a drink. There is no play equipment to speak of — it works because cars barely enter and everyone can see the whole square.

Sitting and talking the benches under the plane trees on the sandy ground, the side away from the through street

The low houses make it a village square in the middle of the grid. Older neighbours take the shaded benches on the sand in the late afternoon and it stays several degrees cooler than the streets around it.
