La Strada (Part 2)

Snday was another busy day for the La Strada festival and this time I managed to see some more before rain stopped play.


This is not just the back of someone's head - if you look closely, as we had to, you will see the dancers through the crowd.


Here are a French act (you can only see half) with some amazing Diabolo skills.


Here you can see just how popular some shows were.  We were unable to get in here to see the mime.


This was the main setting for the action in the Marktplatz.


Here's one we braved from the safety and warmth of Alex's on Domhof as it had started raining.  Again, it's a bit hard to see but the two men in uniform putting the red and white tape out are actors.


This was the same clown from the beach the day before but I managed to catch more of his show today which was quite funny and very international (think I counted five languages!)

After the clown show, we sat in the park for some churros!  (Something I have yet to actually find in Barcelona)  and then the heavens opened which meant that the rest of the performances in the park were cancelled and an early finish for us.
