Praca Quinze, Florianopolis
I'm not sure if I have mentioned this before, but this square lies at the heart of Florianopolis City Centre; if I have mentioned it before it is worth another mention.

It is dominated by an enormous fig tree which is propped up with steel poles. It has mosaic pathways and a variety of other trees and shady areas. Musicians from the continent (particularly Peru) play their evocative music and indigenous tribal people sell beads and artifacts from interior and amazonian regions.

It is always a busy area, with people either passing through, or sitting and relaxing or playing cards, chess or poker. I always try and walk through it when I go to the City.
