out in the street

Barcelona is one very alive city. Doesn't matter if it's 9 in the morning or 3 in the night, you are never alone on the streets. Moreover, you can have the best of fun without spending a lot of money, spontaneously joining "botellon" parties (a custom that takes place mainly in the Spanish nightlife, which involves the gathering of a large number of young people to drink beverages previously acquired in shops (usually supermarkets), to listen to music and talk) in the small placas singing along with the talented guitar, harp, flute, sax singers. They make you feel you are their special public, engaging you more and more with every song.

So, if you find yourself late at night, walking on the streets without anything interesting to do, you can always go to Placa del Sol and witness special gimmicks, like the girl in this picture is doing, or just sit and relax, listening to people putting all their sorrows and happiness in touching instruments.
