Catalunya's Pl. de Rius y Talulet, 2006

Placed 9th in the Best Decorated Street category at the Festa Major de Gràcia, 2006.

Plaça de Rius y Taulet, Barcelona, 2006

Plaça de Rius y Taulet – with its famous and towering clock tower -- is the kickoff spot for the infamous festa Major that I’ll write about another day.

Click HERE and take a glance at an embedded slideshow of the plaça before the festa opened.

This plaça is huge. You can sit and enjoy wonderful meals, coffee and pastries in one of about five café/restaurants.

For entertainment, there are street artists and the “regulars” who, between you and me aren’t regular. No: They’re SPECIAL.

For the little ones there’s enough space for them to ride their skateboards, play football and just plain run, ruin and rant.

This Plaça certainly has vervy colors, imagination by the ton, and makes-your-jaw-drop creativity.

Check out the photos and see for yourself.
