Great square with lots of shops and places for coffee and snacks. My favorite in the area is 4 Cats which was Pablo Picasso’s favorite spot. Nice place. He signed a menu on display.

There is lots to see and do in this part of the city. We visited the busy market which was full of life and fantastic looking produce. The surrounding streets were also full of interesting shops...
