And is this the Plaça Reial with the fountain of the Three Graces flanked by twin lamp posts designed by Gaudí for his first municipal commission. And is it true that until recently, the square was known for its squatters, prostitutes and drug-sellers. And that some still linger in the corners, but is now a tourist favourite, not least for the dozens of terrace cafes. And is this the Plaça Reial that's best avoided at weekends, when it fills up with stag parties, but is possible to explore the tiny passages which lead off the square, where you’ll discover some of the best nightlife in the city?<BR/><BR/>If so, never heard of it. But sounds brill! Trust you're having a chilled out time of it.Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14926859643680802829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075435.post-1118783259784122272005-06-14T22:07:00.000+01:002005-06-14T22:07:00.000+01:00Sounds like it was fun.
