Hello Martina.
I spent two months in Barcelona doing my diploma and lived in Gracia. It used to be a small village but is now just a suburb of the city. However, it has managed to maintain its own charm. It has a beautiful village square with a church, small shops, local small restaurants and lots of outdoor tables. I spent amazing evenings there after school, sipping coffee, having a snack and going over everything we learned that day. Kids were out playing, couples were out walking and the older crowd were playing dominoes, cards or just loudly discussing life. I feel a little of that sitting around the Rotunda in Mosta. Your idea sounds amazing. Having somewhere to sit, relax and slow down and enjoy life is for me an important part of wellbeing and work / life balance.
