Barcelona
|
|
|
That particular Saturday was a
big event in Barcelona, like there was a big festival. The streets were
filled with performers - break dancers, drum corps, comedy/musical
stints. Barcelona has dozens of plazas and the performers just pick
their spots to do their thing. Some venues were formally arranged, too;
there were stages reserved for folk dances band concerts.
Thousands of people were walking around, shopping, dining, drinling. At 9 pm, buses of people - many teens - were just beginning to arrive. The Ramblas, which is a huge and long market place, was crowded the entire day. In the evening, three fireworks shows were held at the port area, which is a stone's throw from downtown. It was a mistake to look for a hotel room there on a Saturday afternoon. By 4 pm, the only places free were $380 hotel suites. |
 At the front steps of the mammoth Barcelona Cathedral, a band was preparing for a concert. |
