They&#8217;re a creative bunch of anarchists in this town. This piece of &#8216;urban-art&#8217; I liked most. Ghostbusters!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We spend some time in Barcelona recently. It isn&#8217;t my favorite city in the world, but hey &#8211; when it&#8217;s warm, there is good weather, fantastic food and friendly people nobody is complaining.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/obk_mobile/3594879933/" title="Ghostbusters by obk_mobile, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3387/3594879933_3e3b9e6a4f.jpg" alt="Ghostbusters" height="333" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>They&#8217;re a creative bunch of anarchists in this town. This piece of &#8216;urban-art&#8217; I liked most. Ghostbusters!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/obk_mobile/3594879227/" title="Zhe Frensj by obk_mobile, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3301/3594879227_87e3d23803.jpg" alt="Zhe Frensj" height="333" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>And what&#8217;s a better place to meet French hippies playing accordion then Barcelona?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/obk_mobile/3594880467/" title="People watching the game outside the cafe by obk_mobile, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3394/3594880467_279abc6ba5.jpg" alt="People watching the game outside the cafe" height="333" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>But hmm, what&#8217;s happening there? Daily life stops to watch the final of the Spanish soccer-competition</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/obk_mobile/3594883325/" title="Crowds! by obk_mobile, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3397/3594883325_27b193894b.jpg" alt="Crowds!" height="333" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>And guess who won? B-A-R-C-A! Right under our balcony</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/obk_mobile/3594882693/" title="Fireworks by obk_mobile, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2437/3594882693_e09375ae98.jpg" alt="Fireworks" height="333" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>The mob went wild. Shortly after the fireworks, they started tearing down streetlights, postboxes, trees and metrosigns.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/obk_mobile/3595690236/" title="Mossos by obk_mobile, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3342/3595690236_9a7f49aab0.jpg" alt="Mossos" height="333" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>And all the fun lasted for a couple of hours, then the &#8216;Mossos&#8217; took over. Within a couple of minutes the party was over.</p>
