Gràcia is a village stitched together by squares, and each one has its own crowd, character and corner café. Here are the ones worth losing a whole afternoon to, vermut in hand.
Local tip
Watched over by the 1878 Sant Joan church and a handful of terraces (Terra Mar, Virreina, La Cafetera), this is the square locals quietly send each other to when Plaça del Sol gets too loud. Order a vermut, get a table outside, watch the kids run between benches.
