Best square in Barcelona: Pla\u00e7a Reial<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

One of Barcelona’s most emblematic squares, Pla\u00e7a Reial, or Royal Square, is a true gem. This gorgeous square is a hotspot for local musicians that play in the many bars around the square. Many people often come here to see Gaudi’s first project in Barcelona (two lampposts in the square).<\/p>\r\n
