Last Day in Spain (for now!)

The first part of today was spent dodging heavy downpours and looking
around Barcelona.

The highlight was a free concert of 'Cobla Popular', traditional
Catalan music. The orchestra was quite small but interesting in a
very idiosyncratic way. At one point, the conductor (who was seated
with the orchestra and also played a type of recorder) took an
extended phone call on his mobile, while continuing to keep time!

The performers used a variety of local instruments and had an unusual
but lively and entertaining sound. They attracted a large audience.
The performance ended when another sudden deluge sent both performers
and audience scurrying for shelter.

I must say that I am looking forward to getting out of all this rain.

Now I have settled back in my room to watch the Brazilian GP. Will
Hamilton get his world championship?

Cheers
John
