Last night saw the kick-off of the La Mercè Festa
which takes place in September every year. You can also read all about the origins
and meaning of it here.
We decided to take it easy last night and just went to see
the projections on the City Hall in Pl. de Sant Jaume, which were amazing,
alternating between making the City Hall look like a huge Arcade Game and a
shifting part of a dream, almost like something from the film ‘Inception’. I
tried to take pictures but they didn’t come out too well as the images were
moving so quickly.
Then we popped along to Cuitadella Park to see the Antigua
& Barbuda funfair, a kooky installation of manually operated fairground rides and
attractions which was surreal fun.
Tonight we’re going to check out the circus at Montjuic, the
bands at the Bam Festival (especially Villagers who
I love) and dancers from St. Petersburg (who are the city guests this year)
performing an hour long version of Swan
Lake in front of the lake in Cuitadella Park. That should be enough
excitement for one night…

That looks incredible. The caravan picture is just wonderful! Hope your weekend has been brilliant. x
We saw some projections like this in France. They were amazing. We had the same problems taking pictures!
