Placa de la Independencia is a great place for various occasions - an outdoor meal, a stroll, photoshoots, a cool-down, and such. Having visited it on Monday, I would not consider it crowded. There was, in fact, quite a lot of space in the area, which made it comfortable and peaceful. I enjoyed it very much!

Read about why they call it the independence place and enjoy the food and drinks in all the local bars in the sun. In the centre of the square stands a monument (1894) commemorating the 1809 defenders of the city of Girona. Read, drink, enjoy the sun, relax and move to the next monument.

They normally organized every kind of events related to food, drink or local products. Besides that, they have coffes and restaurants (not the best of the city but proper to eat)

It's a lovely place to East and do some serious people watching, but wasn't impressed with the variety of restaurants. We settled on a place and it was OK for a light dinner. The interesting thing came later in the night when we heard music (our apartment was across the river) and curiosity took us back to the square where a local band and dancers were performing what I assume was a traditional Catalan dance. It was quaint and it actually took the square back in time...I found Girona full of such lovely surprises.

Like all Placas, restaurants and some shade. A lot more sun. The beautiful building around are (much) decorated with yellow ribbons nowadays, making photos more interesting. THE taxi stand is around the corner so it's a real landmark. Oh, and there are public toilets!

A great space to meet, have drinks and eat. The restaurants have good food and atmosphere. The surrounding buildings are well maintained and just a few feet from several walking bridges that connects you to the Old Town.
