BARCELONA GOTHIC QUARTER: PLAÇA REIAL

In previous posts I have spoken about some peaceful and small squares inside the Barcelona Gothic Quarter, like:




Today I would like to show you another lovely square but, unlike the other ones, this square is quite large.

Located beside La Rambla, La Plaça Reial (Royal Square) is one of the beautiful places in the Barcelona Gothic Quarter. Built where previously there was a former Capuchin convent, the elegant ambiance of this porticoed square is accentuated by the fountain, streetlamps and palm trees. Besides, it's one of the more lively Barcelona’s spot, especially at night.

Nowadays, as well as its beauty, Plaça Reial is a busy nightlife hub, and the porticoes conceal restaurants, bars and some of Barcelona’s most popular nightspots. Without any doubt, one of the most charming places in Barcelona.

La Plaça Reial is a really worthy visiting place but you should be careful because of the presence of pickpockets and drunk people, especially at night, which are better to avoid. However, police is always near this square, so today it's a fairly safe place.

Besides, next you have some useful information:
