Torres de Serrans i els camps del riu

Probably mostly sitting on the grass below the towers, informal football on the sand pitches in the riverbed, and a pause on the west-facing bridge seats for the sunset, busiest from early evening.

Sitting and talking moat lawns below the Torres de Serrans, the grass strip on the riverbed side

The grass down in the old moat is where people actually sit — backs against the slope, facing the towers, a guitar somewhere. The stone forecourt up top is for photos and tour groups; almost nobody sits there.

Informal sport sand football pitches in the riverbed between Pont de Sant Josep and Pont de Serrans, north side

The pitches down here aren't booked, they're claimed — you turn up around seven and whoever is already on decides whether you're playing or waiting. By dark the separate games have blurred into one long queue for the enclosed pitch.

Watching the sunset stone bays of the Pont de Serrans, the ones facing west down the riverbed

The bridge has little semicircular bays with stone seats built in. People sit in the west-facing ones and watch the sun drop down the line of the riverbed — five minutes' pause, not a picnic.
