A few weekends ago, the Chinese New
Year was welcomed in Barcelona. This celebration took place in front of the
Sagrada Família and for the first time, traditional Catalan groups blended in
with the parade. An odd but surprisingly fitting combination, seeing how they
have traditional elements like dragon figures and fireworks in common. While it
was a bit of a gray and rainy day, the streets where brightened up with yellow
and golden dragons, dancers dressed in traditional Chinese costumes, Catalan
devils, giants and human towers, accompanied by live music and loud firecracker
bangs.
