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

Sardana dance is a symbol  of Catalan unity and pride

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...!

Meantime, just behind the Cathedral where the Sardana Dance was taking place...
