Most of my excursions through Barcelona have been during the day. Finally, I dared take out my camera while walking through the Barri Gothic last night - the last night of the festival of La Merce.

| A random plaza circled by tapas bars & restaurants - and random street musicians |
 |
| Lit-up balconies at the Hotel Banys |
 |
| Near the Cathedral of the city - lit up |
 |
| Another lit-up tower - near one of the stages set up for the festival of La Merce |
|
 |
| Strings of lights in El Born |
 |
| 9pm and 24 degrees (75 F)... perfect night. |
Next time, I won't be toting a bottle of wine in my hand... so I'll probably take more pictures. Until then, this is a glimpse of the city I traced my way through last night.
On a side note, for a country that's suffering from a "crisis" - they sure throw a lot of festivals and put on impressive fireworks displays. party on?
