Barcelona - La Mercé

---

A four-day festival of the patron saint of Barcelona (or was it Catalunya?) First night was the opening, with the sardana dance at the Cathedral, gegants (giants) and fireworks at Placa Sant Jaume.

Next night we headed to the Correfoc - running with the ´dragons´. You have been warned, if you ever go for this, bring something to cover your head AND the rest of your body because these dragons shoot fire AT people, and some people were really crazy enough to run WITH them. It was fun, though, and really funny.

Choir at Placa Del Rei
The effect of the choir at this smaller plaza was sooo good.

Okay there wasn´t just dragons
I think this was a dinosour.

And a pig too
How unfortunate for the man in this picture to be captured - there are similarities here, don´t you think?

For crying out loud don´t just stand there!
Run for your life!!!
