Plaça Eivissa

Located in the heart of the old part of Horta, Plaça Eivissa is a square with a not-really-a-square shape. What also makes it unusual for a square in Barcelona is that it exudes the very essence of its environment, in the middle of a neighborhood that's not putting on airs. You'll find no trace of retro-bodegas, hipster bistros or gastrobars, no cupcake cafés or muffin bars. And nobody misses them. Locals and visitors alike gather around tables topped with classic taps, a couple of beers, maybe some churros or a pizza. Plaça Eivissa is where you go to detox from the hectic city centre.
