Probably children in the sand playground on weekday afternoons and evenings, petanca on the gravel behind it mornings and late afternoon, and sitting and talking on the shaded benches through midday in summer.
Kids playingthe sand playground and the shaded benches on the carrer de Mallorca side
Neighbours with small children skip plaça de Gaudí and come here instead, because no queue crosses it. Grandparents hold the shaded benches on the Mallorca side from about five and the sand stays full until dinner.

Sitting and talkingthe benches under the trees on the carrer de la Marina corner
The trees on the Marina corner give the only real shade on this side, so those benches are taken right through midday in summer while the rest of the square sits empty in the sun.

Informal sportthe gravel strip behind the playground, away from carrer de Mallorca
Older residents play petanca on the gravel behind the playground, mornings and again late afternoon. The games are quiet, and the benches around them are understood to belong to whoever is playing.
