SPAIN barcelona (le mercé!:dos)
parc del fòrum was built to accommodate outdoor concerts and events. since it is away from residential areas, shows can start at two in the morning and go till seven if anyone gets a chance to go there is a club called cubic that we frequented on sundays (it is closed for the winter), and it was awesome since we would go after the pub at three am and stay till seven…and then catch the train home to sleep all day. and ofcourse, since it is barça, if you still want to party there is always an afterparty somewhere! anyway, for le mercé the fòrum was packed with thousands of people as it hosted free shows. one night we we went out to see cassius (french house dj band) at a mtv-sponsored event! i don´t think there would ever be a free show like this in the states. gotta love spain!
“piromusica” is the culmination of the festival, and ends with fireworks coordinated to the colorfully lit up fountain in plaza españa. the fountain show is one thing, but to see it in conjunction with fireworks was absolutely stunning! they also handed out packets sparklers (my favorite!) with lighters which we held up towards the end. it definitely capped off the crazy weekend of festivities!
