Touring Barcelona can be exhausting, especially in the summer when the average high hovers in the mid-80s °F. Plaça Reial on La Rambla is the perfect spot for an afternoon beer, an evening dinner or exciting nightlife. You will be surrounded by a four-sided arcade and palm trees with the Three Graces Fountain in the middle. Look closely at the lampposts. They were created by Antoni Gaudí early in his career in 1879. The Royal Square was built in 1859 on the site of the former Capuchin convent.
