Article source: MIRAG In 2010 a new ‘esplai’ was opened in Cristòfol Grober Street in Girona. It is a leisure centre for the elderly, composed of a common space and some auxiliary rooms: CiberCaixa, with IT equipment, 3 workshop rooms, and Cibercafè, with 8 computers.

The glass surfaces of the second floor reflect the light so that these lamps are in fact duplicated. The ‘esplai’ is placed in the ground floor of an existing building.
