Sant John's celebration is big in Barcelona. People get a holiday next day to celebrate it all night! I was told that it is celebrated everywhere, but mostly around the beach areas. Three symbols of this celebration are: fire, water and herbs. For obvious reasons, beach makes a good venue for this celebration :) Check more details about this event here.

The evening started with hanging around the parks and the streets. This good-looking, handsome dog caught my attention.

A guy, busy on the phone with a handsome dog - good combination to earn some money :) I spent 15 cents to take these photos.

Then we went to a Basque style restaurant/bar. They give you a plate and you eat anything from the display. In the end, they will count the toothpick.

Beginning of Sant Joan's celebration.

Next we went to the beach.

Firecrackers like these will be everywhere - some of them with lots of noise and some of them with lots of flames..

playing with fire...

and of course, singing...

Steps to lit a firecracker. 1. Set it up.

2. lit the fire

3. be prepared to run at the same time

4. run!

5. shooooooo

also some bbq'ing.

many of them will bring tent as well..

Some free belly dancing as well.. You thought only Shakira's hips dont' lie!

I couldn't find my other friends by this time and it was 2'ish by then. So after some effort to find them, I went home. People mostly stays much longer and many of them all night.. 2am was enough for me :)

If you want to see all photos (includes some videos as well) from that day, check here.

You can also check Spain photostream, Barcelona photostream and Europe collection in my flickr account.

A rainy day at Barcelona

It all started with my wet clothes*! I washed them the day before yesterday, dried them yesterday like the way people do it here in Barcelona (and in Bangladesh), then it wasn't as dry as I am used to. So I thought I will leave them for another day. This another day had rain, which I didn't check in the forecast! So its still there for another day (because I am lazy) then it will get another wash then will be there for another day to get dried :)

*These are not all my wet clothes. I had more on the other side :)

I bought this thing long before, but never used it! Its the rain coat for my camera :) After taking the picture of my wet clothes, I thought may be I should take some pictures outside. Here it goes... A rainy day at Barcelona.

Its not typical Rambla street.

This Moka restaurant made me "boka" in my first day with 5.5 euro orange juice. Later I found another restaurant had coke for 7 euros! Food prices in this tourist spot is not too high, probably 2-3 euros extra. They make money with the drinks. So be it Moka or Khoka, everyone will make you boka.
