Urban spaces

Plaça del Rom Cremat can be accessed from one of the neighbourhood’s best-known roads:, Carrer Jordi de Sant Jordi, formerly Carrer de l’Havana, the capital of Cuba. Plaça del Rom Cremat takes its name from the old seafaring tradition of flaming rum mixed with coffee, cinnamon, sugar and lemon peel, while singing habaneras. The tradition originated from the Costa Brava; but while the drink may have strong Catalan roots, its ingredients evoke a legendary tropical world. The rum-based drink is prepared out on this square during the local festa major, , where you can also listen to habaneras singing from Carrer Jordi de Sant Jordi.
