This weekend will be held in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bFestes de la Mercé, a 4-day city festival in honor of the patron saint of the city.

caution Culture: The
Senyora de la Mercé has become the patron saint of the city after they had defended the city in 1637 alone against a plague of locusts. 1714, when Barcelona lost the English War of Succession, the city elders appointed to commander of the city's defense.

The festival is held during the week of 24.9. (The holiday) and is held as the highlight of the festival year and would say with a loud bang in the summer farewell. Here are hundreds of different activities throughout the city. The highlights are:

• Correfoc or Fire Run

• Sardenas
  A English folk dance, in which the participants hold in their hands and turn in circles.
• music Grupen
  In the city built platforms and local and international bands appear. eg: Ojos de Brujo, Travis or Robocop Kraus

The Festival is really a kind of street festival überdimesnionales - something for everyone.

I did this weekend storm, and may be let out right now to sow. Just unfortunately, I still know no one with whom I can draw around the houses. But I would still see the festival on Saturday night and go to Correfoc. Is supposed to be pretty good. Because it is overcast all day and I think, in the evening may be cool, I pull at times exceptionally ne jacket. So I take the nearest metro and moving into the old town, where the fire run to start right then. Of course, all hell is going on. Many young people, old people and children, which is normal for the little ones a long time to are. The move ha not started yet and I go along the road and find me a nice place. Stop thinking that the process is just like us, all standing at the roadside and watch the train, just stop here with fireworks and stuff. That is why it is called everywhere, we should tighten things and long hair shooters. Just be careful.

excerpt from the program:

Warning: The Fire Run can be dangerous and everyone is responsible for themselves. To dance with the "devils" you need to wear clothes Which cover you well. ... Children seeing the fire run for the first time can become freightened, and so they should not stand in the front rows. ... "

I then stroll the Via Laetina up at the place where to start. Everywhere I look at my people, masquerading, with balaclavas, hats, scarves, long resistant jackets, gloves. So really bundled up, that only the eyes still look out. Even a little bit exaggerated I think. On top of the square, we go off. Everything is full of people and in front you can see forever spray fire and fireworks. The whole street is lined with people and I am looking for a place in the curve where the train einbiegt from the square in the street. Then it starts!

And now I see first how this works. The train is not like us down the road, but for a way through the people. There are running around "devil" and other figures, waving the fireworks and spray with the spark in the people and the spectators run toward them and dance with them under the shower of sparks. Madness. Then again komt a drum band or a monster that spits fire. You can not really imagine what is going on. Everything is raging, if the fire comes. Big, small, young, old - all storm the figures or even the devils dance in the rain of sparks. 'm Dressed, unfortunately, wrong and therefore remain on the margins, which does not mean that I'm not sure. Now and again it is in coverage or the hair is singed.

The spectacle takes place so about 1.5 km and 2 hours. Sometimes, one feels as in the days of chaos. If I come down the road look, I see it explode everywhere and only sparks, then up, at the next monster or the next drum squad, the last I agree with him and dance down the street.

After the spectacle I still strolling around weng in the old town and see me on the Placa Reial at a concert. As I said, the whole town is on alert.

So who is planning a city trip times to Barcelona should perhaps come to a party. It is really worth.

Today I look at me a Sardena and perhaps the Travis concert. I can sleep in tomorrow - bank holiday.

Radio President George

The city this week adopted rules for cycling. For violation of Rules 30 € will be collected Busgeld.

preliminary should perhaps be noted that cycling is not as popular here as at home. In order to promote the city has "Bicing" made up. Since you can log in and then use public bicycles. There are places in town where you can pick up the bike and off to another back. Good idea arrives also very good.

And so now the rules.
Radfahren ist nur auf gekennzeichneten Radwegen erlaubt und wenn keiner verfügbar ist, auf dem Fussweg. Der muss aber breiter als 5m sein, man muss 1m Abstand zu den Fußgängern,anderen Radfahrern und Gebäuden halten und mindestens 5m geradeaus fahren können. Sollte das nicht möglich sein, darf man auch auf der rechten Seite der Straße fahren, aber nicht auf der Busspur, die aber auf der rechten Seite ist. Hmmm.

Naja, dann darf man beim Radfahren nicht telefonieren, MP3-Player hören und braucht eine Klingel. Abends braucht man dazu noch Licht und Reflektoren.

Ausserdem ist das Abstellen der Fahrräder an Bäumen, Bänken, Laternen, Ampeln und Papierkörben nicht mehr erlaubt and the bikes are removed. Bicycle racks are not enough.

I am really very happy, this has no wheel, though would come in handy. But I have too many rules I can not remember me without a rule book. I take the subway or just my legs.

prefer to walk?

How To Tell If Your Rook Piercing Is Infected

11th September - Diada (Catalan national holiday)

Today on 11 September is yes, but when you Antiterrortag, a holiday with us - Diada, the Catalan National Day.

The story behind it is a bit complicated, but I explain briefly - A bit of history you no harm. Celebrated

is not about independence, as elsewhere, but a defeat. On 11/09/1714 occupied Philip V, after fourteen months' siege of Barcelona and put an end to the autonomy, ie, by the Decree de Nueva Planta was the political independence and lost the use of the Catalan language was prohibited. Catalonia was so completely with Spain.

is celebrated, of course, not the loss of freedom, but the hope for a full "national resistance production". Since the end of Franco's dictatorship, this is being driven, so the traffic signs were back in Catalan installed, education and everyday language is Catalan and Catalan are promoted (My Catalan course is free, while my English 140, - costs). The University may choose the language they do indeed still be international, but many courses are in Catalan. Not so good for me.
My opinion: I would not bet that Catalonia is a part of Spain forever.

That's it, now to my day:
Since today is still free, I sleep in and go right to the beach at noon, because really there is cloudless blue sky and sunshine. The girls are already gone. The beach is of course packed. Volume up pretty girls and muscle-bound Jungs, die ihnen imponieren wollen. Dazwischen jeder Menge Pakistaner, die eine gewisses ColaAquaCerveza oder ColaCervezaBier verkaufen wollen und Asiatinen die Masaje anbieten (keine Thaimassage, wie ihr denkt, wirkliche Massagen am Strand). Die kommen so ca. alle 3 Minuten. Alle 20 Minuten kommt der Kokosnussmann ("Coco fresco"). Es geht also teilweise wie auf einem Markt zu. Dazwischen Beach Ball, Volleyball und Oben-Ohne Mädels. Alles in Allem nicht schlecht so ein Tag am Meer. Vor allem wenn der Strand ganze 4 U-Bahn Stationen weg ist !!!

Auf jeden Fall bin ich abends, weil mein Teil vom Kühlschrank bis auf ein Wienerl und einen Frischkäse ziemlich leer ist in die Altstadt zu einem legendären Imbiss (so ne Art Würschtl-Doni für alle Regensburger) gelaufen. Auf dem Weg hab ich schon bemerkt, dass der Feiertag anscheinend sehr wichtig ist. Viele hatten katalanische Fahnen dabei und vor dem Triumphbogen war eine Riesen-Bühne aufgebaut und ein großes Fest. Auf dem Platz wo der Imbiss ist, war dann eine Kundgebung. Anfangs hab ich bloß Pfiffe und Rufe gehört, die ich net verstanden hab. Nach dem Essen bin ich dann mal hin. Das Ganze war in 3 Gruppen aufgeteilt. Eine kleine Gruppe, die die Kundgebung abhielt, mit spanischen Fahnen und eine (noch) kleine Gruppe, die dagegen protestiert. Dazwischen die Mossos d´Esquadra, eine katalanische Zivilpolizei und andere Polizeidivisionen. Hab mich dann ein wenig dazugesellt und geschaut was da denn los ist. Die Demnonstranten waren offenkundig pro-katalanisch eingestellt, wobei die Leute der Kundgebung spanische Fahnen schwenkten. Die Stimmung war eigentlich ganz friedlich. Innerhalb des Polizeikreises Reden und manchmal ein Lied, ausserhalb Pfiffe, Zwischenrufe und Drohgesten. Sie haben auch auf das bekannte Lied “Eviva Espana” den Text “De puta Espana” oder so gesungen, was soviel wie “Die Hure Spanien” heisst. Und immer wieder Anti-Spanien Rufe, “Fascista"-Rufe und Gesänge der katalanischen Hymne. Die Demnosntranten wurden auch immer mehr. Als es auf das Ende der Veranstaltung zuging, haben die Innerenbkurz die spanische Hymne anklingen lassen, wodurch die Äusseren etwas gereizt wurden und den Kreis enger subject. The police have actually even taken off their caps and helmets raised. And I stand there, right in the middle, and in flip flops and beach bag. And without my demonstration paving stone I'm always in the car if time is what (Have used it only on holidays on a campsite to pat herring). And times when I really want, he is not there. Note: Demonstration cobblestone take forever, you never know. The whole thing is then shifted to one side, because the event was and were escorted from the Kundgebler into a side street of the place and the Demnonstranten also went in the direction to adopt them. Have then found a better standing room and saw that the older Kundgebler especially People, especially women had been derived from the demonstrators adopted now work together kissing and waving of stretch but got only middle finger and whistles. No idea whether a party or something was. Shall I buy tomorrow is even a scandal sheet, as determined in it was.

On the way to the subway I saw then that the police had apparently expected more conflict, for numerous armored cars were distributed with special forces in wait and paramedics all over the place. The English police well known, not the sort to be squeamish.

That's it from holiday.
