About Plaza Roja Lifestyle and Real Estate Options

Praza Roxa (Red Square) is characterized by a wide, open area with two squares separated by a two-lane road that runs through the plaza. It is located in Santiago de Compostela’s Campus Sur (University South Campus), and contains multiple tall, modern buildings housing studio apartments, flats and offices. These buildings are usually eight to nine storeys high, with uniformed sliding windows on each floor that look out onto the street. Only a few have balconies or terraces. Shops and cafés occupy the ground floors of the buildings, with most cafés offering spacious outdoor seating on the squares.

The two plazas with block-paved grounds provide ample open space for individuals to stroll. White, boat-shaped concrete benches—a few of which are situated under the shade of trees—offer a place to sit and relax. Bicycle racks can also be found in various areas around the plaza, where cyclists can secure their bicycles before visiting any of the establishments located in the area.

Residential spaces in and around Praza Roxa usually consist of one-bedroom flats and studios that offer functional accommodations for singles and couples. Working singles will especially appreciate the convenience and accessible lifestyle of this area, as it is close to many amenities and services such as banks, clinics, supermarkets and restaurants.
