es: "plaza de la Romanilla de Granada es un espacio urbano que se encuentra situado en el centro histórico y tradicional de la ciudad.

De planta irregular, la plaza se ubica justo al lado de la catedral de Granada, ocupando un amplio espacio alargado a espaldas del frente nor-oeste del templo, del cual se separa por una sola manzana de casas.

Plaza
Se trata de un espacio muy tranquilo y agradable, apartado del bullicio del turismo, pero a su vez magníficamente situado junto a la zona monumental de la catedral y la Alcaicería, y a muy escasos metros de la céntrica y emblemática plaza de Bib-Rambla.
?
Su trazado es perpendicular a la Calle San Jerónimo, a la cual se accede directamente desde uno de los lados menores del rectángulo que delimita la plaza, que preside desde el lado opuesto el edificio de líneas vanguardistas creado como Centro Federico García Lorca.

La plaza está ajardinada con dos bandas de arbolado, uno a cada uno de los dos lados mayores, donde predominan las palmeras, creando un agradable paseo central.

Uno de los lados de ese paseo está amueblado con bancos y farolas, y en él se asientan numerosas terrazas de bares y cafeterías, que con el sol de la mañana se va llenando de clientes.

Frente a las terrazas de los bares puede verse la cuadrada torre renacentista de la catedral, que asoma por encima de las palmeras y de las escasas edificaciones que se interponen entre ellas, dando lugar a una vista especialmente bonita.

De entre los muchos edificios de esta plaza, la mayoría de líneas tradicionales y poca altura, destaca el ya citado del Centro Federico García Lorca, tanto por su factura moderna y totalmente diferente de todo el caserío que lo rodea, como por el hecho de estar situado en uno de sus puntos más vistosos, como presidiendo la plaza desde uno de sus ángulos."

en: "The Plaza de la Romanilla in Granada is an urban space that is located in the historical and traditional center of the city.

With an irregular floor plan, the square is located right next to the Granada Cathedral , occupying a wide elongated space behind the north-west front of the temple, from which it is separated by a single block of houses.

Square
It is a very quiet and pleasant space, away from the hustle and bustle of tourism, but at the same time magnificently located next to the monumental area of ??the cathedral and the Alcaicería, and a few meters from the central and emblematic Plaza de Bib-Rambla .

Its layout is perpendicular to San Jerónimo Street, which is accessed directly from one of the smaller sides of the rectangle that delimits the square, which presides over the building with avant-garde lines created as the Federico García Lorca Center from the opposite side .

The square is landscaped with two bands of trees, one on each of the two major sides, where palm trees predominate, creating a pleasant central promenade.

One of the sides of this promenade is furnished with benches and lampposts, and numerous terraces of bars and cafes settle on it, which fill up with customers with the morning sun.

Opposite the terraces of the bars you can see the square Renaissance tower of the cathedral, which rises above the palm trees and the few buildings that stand between them, giving rise to a particularly beautiful view.

Among the many buildings in this square, most of them with traditional lines and low height, the aforementioned Federico García Lorca Center stands out, both for its modern style and totally different from all the surrounding farmhouses, and for the fact that it is located in one of its most attractive points, as if presiding over the square from one of its angles."
