Five years
ago, I came to Barcelona to visit Chris
and to celebrate my 19th birthday. It also happened to be the time
of the Mercè festival; it was the first time I experienced a correfoc and saw
the castellers in the middle of the crowd at Plaça Sant Jaume. There were free
concerts everywhere, parades, light projection shows, fireworks at the beach: I
couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate my birthday. This year, I was
finally there again to enjoy the biggest festival of Barcelona!
