Piazza Navona: Or Lack There Of

In Barcelona, they do not have piazzas anywhere, and I very much missed that environment. Out of the things that I will miss most about being in Italy is their piazzas. Barcelona just did not have some local hang out spot that the piazzas provide. Instead there are just long streets completely packed with people in every nook and cranny. There is no spot to just comfortably sit around at and absorb the environment. Without these spaces, no one can congregate well and the sidewalks and walkways just become completely congested when people try to watch street performers. Piazzas are definitely one of the best aspects of Italy, at least you know when you are bored you can always head out to them and something will always be going on. I think that Barcelona would have been much more tolerable if they had such establishments.
