Barcelona street parade

When I got back to Barcelona, it was around 2000 but there was a lively street parade on the Passeig de Gràcia, one of Barcelona's major avenues.

Some of the participants were protestors who thought that the Forum was a waste of money and that some of the sponsors were war supporters.

There was loud drumming and street dancing.

This was a Brazilian themed float which was a giant boom box with dancers on top.

As dusk fell, the parade thinned away. This was the beautiful fountain at the intersection with Gran Via, looking towards the Cine Comedia.

The view at the Plaça de Catalunya, looking towards the Barcelona branch of El Cortés Ingles, Spain's largest department store chain.


I had a simple dinner of a felafel from Maoz, a chain of vegetarian fast food restaurants started by an Israeli couple in Amsterdam. That went down well with the ½ kg of strawberries that I bought in Sitges. And so to bed, after finishing Thinks.
