Vallcarca

10th September, Sunday, ninth day of my holidays.

Saturday's rain had cleared up and it was sunny on Sunday. I decided to go to the beach, as the weather forecast didn't look good for the following week. On my way to the metro I saw these people gathered on what looked like a meeting of some sort. Not sure about the reason. I know it was 'Les Festes de Vallcarca' a small neighbourhood festival, as there were a few things going on, so it might have been related to that. However, there have been a few problems with squatters in this neighbourhood and, as far as I know, there's been an attempt to gentrify the area by knocking down all the squatting buildings. This has angered a few people as they think the reason behind it is to build homes for sale where people are never gonna live, that is, for the purpose of speculation. I might be wrong though, as I don't know the full details of the situation. 

Lunch with family and, in the evening, I met I couple of friends I hadn't seen for a while for dinner and a bit of catch up.
