"Part of the heart of Terrassa. A little removed from the center, but always making the most of its central plaza for organizing activities.
They also have a wide variety of restaurants."

"Like everything in Terrassa, if not Parc Vallès, which is full of foreigners, or Plaça Vella, the rest is all dead on Sunday."
Eduard Solà
"It turned out beautifully after the renovation, giving more life to this central area of Terrassa.
The Vapor Gran was a complex of factories, most of which were demolished, leaving only four standing. New apartment blocks, shops, offices, an underground parking garage, a hotel, water slides, and several restaurants were built on the site. The Plaça Nova was also created, where the old Roca i Pous factory once stood, of which only a large chimney remains."
