Local campaigning

In a few days there's going to be local parliamentary elections. Catalunya has a status akin to Scotland after devolution so they have their own parliament and they're pretty independent from Spain, a fact that provoke endless arguments for nationalists all around Spain.
There's three major political forces here and everybody's out in force canvassing all around the area. There's the usual stuff: tv adds, streets posters, junk mail and, this still being Spain, public fiestas.
So we went for a stroll today, a lazy Sunday afternoon after siesta time and it seems that everybody is out and about.
In the central square there was a band playing traditional music and some folk dances, first some local groups dressed in traditional costumes did some fairly elaborate dancing and then the band played and everybody was invited to dance. It's really sweet to watch people of all ages joining hands in a circle (and sometimes a circle within a circle) to dance the traditional local sardana.
I'll try to add a short video that I recorded with my mobile as soon as I manage to learn how to do it.

There was also a small fair with local produces (great ham!) and the usual people seated at cafes while the kids skate or cycle on the roads closed to cars for the day.

The weather, as usual, was fantastic, a slightly cold Autumn breeze but warm enought o be comfortable wearing a light denim jacket.
Overall: absolutely lovely. One can get use to this easily!

Wish you were here.
