Barcelona, Spain - 11th September 2012

By: SiniS

Hi mom!!!
Today is a special day in Catalonia. Today it’s “La Diada Nacional de Catalunya” (the National Day of Catalonia). This day people remember when Barcelona was defeated during the War of the Spanish Succession on 1714. A lot of people in Catalonia want Catalonia to be independent from Spain and this day a lot of people go out to the street to express themselves.
We have studied a bit about this part of the History and we have seen the manifestation on TV.
Ahhh!!! And Vassily has joined us!!!!

Look how many people!!!

This is “Castellers”, a human tower, add to Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO on 2010.

It has been an interesting day and we have learned a lot!
Bye!
