Plaça del Sol

Probably mostly sitting around and talking in the sunken centre, with someone playing music on weekend afternoons; busiest in the evening and into the night.

Playing music the middle of the sunken centre, shifting to the shaded wall side under the buildings when the sun is still on the square

Someone turns up with a guitar or a hand drum and plays in the low centre; a loose circle sits on the paving around them. Earlier in the day it happens against the shaded side, later it moves to the middle.

Sitting and talking the sunken paved centre — people sit straight on the ground and along the step that rings it, backs to the low wall

The middle of the square is lower than the street, and after dinner people sit on the paving and on the step around it rather than at the terraces on the edge. It stays full long after the terraces are stacked away.

Most of what people are carrying comes from the takeaways and small shops on carrer del Planeta and Torrent de l'Olla, on the way in.
