Torre de les Aigües

Mostly small children in the paddling pool and the sand on summer mornings, and out of season quiet reading on the shaded benches on weekday afternoons.

Reading or working the benches in the shade at the far end from the Roger de Llúria passage, out of season

Out of pool season the courtyard is one of the quietest corners in the grid — people come in through the passage with a book and sit until the gate closes. The noise of Roger de Llúria stops at the doorway.

Kids playing the small sand beach and paddling pool at the foot of the water tower, inside the block off Roger de Llúria

The courtyard becomes a beach for small children in summer: a shallow pool, sand, and parents on the benches around the brick tower. It fills early and empties by mid-afternoon, and people treat it as their own block's pool.
