Fiesta!

I mentioned in yesterday's post about the fin de semana (weekend) fiesta.  As we were standing by the Mercat de Santa Caterina where a food and wine festival was also taking place, this group of folks walked through.  
They are actually Castellers from Castelldelfels, but unfortunately I failed to get any pictures of the human towers.  It was fun to see many of them playing instruments as they walked through the crowd.  I will get them at some point this summer, though.  The group was led by these two.

This culture consistently amazes me.  They are working so hard through multiple generations to preserve their cultural identity.  An identity that Franco and some before him have tried to wipe out.
