Gracia Festival...

So, we heard one of the most amazing and funnest festivals of the year is on in Barcelona in the Gracia region called, well, the Gracia Festival. The streets of Gracia are closed down for a week and each street competes for the best decorated street all with different themes.
During the week there is heaps of different events on and MASSIVE street parties that go all night long, it's packed and hectic! So we hear..
So on sunday afternoon we got some time off and thought we would head down and check it all out. I had heard that that day they were doing the 'Human Pyramid' which I have always wanted to see so took off camera in hand excited to get into the festive spirit.
When we got there it was more like a ghost town and we had missed the human pyramid. There were just a handful of people drinking and walking the streets. This was good in one way to be able to check out how the streets were all decorated. It was pretty cool actually. Apparently everyone goes pretty hard at night then crashes during the day to go hard again the next night.
So we spent a couple of hours walking around and checking it all out.
We eventually got hungry and decided to start walking our way home and get something along the way.
We saw a sign out the front of a restaurant that said NON STOP FOOD, BINGO! So we sat down and asked for a menu and he said sorry but we dont do food at this time. Ok Then...............
We just had a drink then jumped in a cab and went where else but our favourite burger joint, they never let us down!

 Back to our old faithful for burgers and cocktails. They taste just as good as they look!

One burger and about 8 cocktails or so later my friend Suzy and I rolled ourselves home. Lucky we only live about 100 metres from there.
Oh and when i got home and checked the news it showed the the festival an hour before we got there, hundreds of people in the streets to watch the human pyramid. It showed a failed attempt of them all come crashing down but thankful no one was hurt.
