Their greatest appeal lies in their community spirit: a shared square, activities for all ages, live music, urban sports, food, social gatherings and local participation.
Rather than being a large-scale festival, it is a welcoming community celebration that keeps the neighbourhood spirit alive and transforms Plaça Patins into a vibrant meeting place for several days.
