Barcelona, a photo a day

Festa Major de Gracia 2


Festa Major de Gracia, day 2.
Amongst many many things going on, around a dozen streets or squares are decorated with recycled material. Each street has it’s own theme: a medieval street, a spooky one, Alice in Wonderland, Big Bang, and so on. One entire street has been transformed into a streetcar! Will show you later.
One of my favorites had the following theme: everything is fragile. This is what you can see hanging over this street. Once again, I repeat: all of it is made of recycled materials!
More to come!

Thanks to all for your comments and wishes!

  2. the Fiesta is a busy time for photographers : correfocs with their crazy noise and smoke, castellers, concerts, and “carrer garnits” : the beautifully decorated streets
