Day 210 - Flying into a protest

Rome (Italy) to Barcelona (Spain) - Cocoon Apartments

The problem with flying is that although the flying time is short it always takes the entire day. The queues at Rome airport for security were longer than usual, the plane was late, etc - so even though we left our hotel in Rome around 11am, we didn't get to our studio apartment in Barcelona until after 7pm.

We headed out for a quick explore and some dinner to find ourselves in the middle of a huge political demonstration, we suspect it was related to Spain's debt crisis and the austerity measures that were in place. It was a peaceful protest though, lots of singing and dancing in the street, we even joined it for about 20 seconds (while we crossed from one side of the street to the other).
