Barcelona no està en venda

Recorded by Pedro Montesinos Blasco.

Demonstration against touristification of the neighbourhood. “Barcelona no està en venda” (“Barcelona is not on sale”). People come down from right side and pass to the left side. Someone points out one building acquired by a big company for speculation while the neighbours and local shopkeepers are driven out from theirs homes and shops because of the rising of rental prices. More people pass down backed by a group of percussionists. Some petards explodes in the distance and mix with slogans, whistles, coming and passed percussions, and, obviously, many tourists.
