With the exception of the children's playground (see Figure 2), covered with rubber flooring, the rest of the surfaces are stone slabs. There is also a church tower with bells nearby, and the main activity road of the neighborhood (Calle Mayor, see Figure 2) is one block apart.
Urban elements and proportions at the site. The buildings in the street are mid-20th century, showing brick and stone constructions with a balanced composition of walls and voids. The average height of the building is five to six floors, including the ground floor.

A double line of trees at both sides of the road offers a sound and visual cushion (Figure 3). This means that outdoor activities are limited by rain and that architecture responds to this aspect, as we can see in the main plaza (next to the observation point, Figure 3) with an arcade (echoing sounds) surrounding the space and allowing urban life during rainfalls.
Spatial location of the observation point.

As Figure 4 illustrates, the site is only 250 m from the sea, which provides wind and the sonic presence of seagulls, waves, and boats.
