Barcelona : Days 4 & 5

Our last few days in Barcelona and we made the most of it - stuffed our faces with food every chance that we had (razor clams, and more razor clams!), and the rest was spent soaking in the sights and sounds at Sonar Festival.





Sonar by Day was held right next to the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (a huge concrete space, complete with carpet grass!) where everyone gathered and danced to whatever was thrown at them - Speech Debelle, Delorean, King Midas Sound and my favourite act - Pursuit Grooves.









During meal times, all we had to do was walk out to the endless stretches of cafes just 5 minutes away - you'll never go hungry here.






Am officially obsessed with Iberian Ham (or Jamón ibérico), a type of cured ham produced mainly in Spain from cross-bred pigs. We had it everywhere we went, and this was at the famous Cafe Viena.













Sonar by Night was held at a totally different venue, off the city center. The crowd size was massive - tens of thousands of people pouring out of 4 warehouses. Unforgettable.

Plastikman is the dark alter ego of Richie Hawtin. Every other person had their cameras/handphones whipped out to capture the amazing visual show - it was an experience everyone wanted to share when they got home.

Only a few hours of sleep before a plane to catch back home. What a night.
