I laughed reading some of your descriptions. La Mercè has grown a lot since my youth in Barcelona. In the 80s and 90s a big component was a whole month —mid September to mid October— of free concerts and shows that you could see at the Greek Theater, Plaza del Rey, etcetera. Do they still do that?
My favorite piece of yours so far! Love your way with words in this one. You had me laughing.
Thank you, Olivia!

I’m not sure about each venue… but there is a long list of free concerts and events…it definitely goes beyond the few days…
I’ve been wanting to be in Barcelona during that month. Hopefully soon!
NYC can almost compete. I'm going to the West Indian Day Parade in Brooklyn on Monday. Apart from a few shootings and knifings, it's a lot of fun!
NYC likes a festival…
Excellent descriptions. I can feel the heat!
Dance with fire? Human castellers? I'm IN!
