The streets of Barcelona just hours after we left. Sorry we missed seeing the celebration that happened just under our small balcony! It was the 300 year celebration.
"Today, Catalonia celebrates its National
Day, and at 1:14 p.m., local time, 550,000 people reportedly filled
miles of Barcelona's streets to form an enormous “V” in the red and
yellow colors of the Catalan flag. Dubbed the Via Catalana, the “V” stretched from the contemporary and iconic Torre Agbar building at the Plaça de Glòries
along 6.8 miles of two major throughfares in the heart of the city.
Traffic was snarled and slow because of the street closures, but 1,500
buses and more than 100,000 cars transported protestors to the surrounding areas."

Had we left the "City" much later, we would never have made it to the airport on time! In fact, we may have been delayed an entire day!
