Sunday morning in "my" Barrio Gotico


Music for the Sardana, Barcelona Catalan dance,  is traditionally played by a cobla, a band consisting of 10 wind instruments, double bass and a tambori (a very small drum), played by 11 musicians

A lot of elderly people enjoying this Sunday event


So nice to see all these people just holding hands and dancing together! Passers-by usually join in leaving their bags in the middle of the circle. The dancers are alternate men and women.


younger people enjoy it too...



Catalan pride...!
