Mostly running after work along the riverbed, with people meeting at the foot of the bridge before moving on, families coming down at dusk, and in July groups sitting outside the concert enclosure to listen from the edge.
Kids playingramp down from the Jardins del Real (Viveros) at Pont del Real
When Viveros shuts at dusk the families don't go home — they come down this ramp into the riverbed and carry on for another hour, because nothing down here closes or has a gate.

Listening to musicthe riverbed edge and Ciutadella side behind the Viveros concert enclosure
During the July concerts in Viveros people sit on the ground outside the fenced enclosure and on the riverbed edge behind it, because the sound carries perfectly and you hear the whole set for nothing. Groups form up an hour or so before it starts.

Runningrunning corridor between Pont del Real and Pont de l'Exposició
The busiest running stretch in the city after work, and it runs on unwritten lanes: runners on the packed sand, bikes on the asphalt. Groups mass at the bridge mouths and everyone stretches afterwards against the ramp walls rather than standing in the path.

Sitting and talkingfoot of Pont de l'Exposició, riverbed side by the Alameda metro exit
More of a meeting node than a place to stay — 'at the white bridge' means the bottom of this ramp, and people stand around it for twenty minutes collecting the rest of the group before heading up to the Alameda or across the river.
