barraques 09'

Every year in many towns and cities across catalunya they hold an event called ''barraques'', it's sort of like a huge party where thousands of people go to in the open air, there are places specially open to serve drink and food to the people and a big stage in frint where lots of famnous bands playu there.

Normally this party last's over two weeks, but because of some kid that got really drunk and had to go to hospital they only did it fot four days which is kind of annoying and this year if your not eighteen they did'nt let you in.

I , of course, went every day, it's tradition. The best night was Saturday night because we started the night at a friends house with his parents, who are like friends to us, watching the Madrid Barcelona match, when Barcelona won the place went crazy and all af my ten friends started drinking a lot. After dinner at we went walking to ''barraques'', it's like a great reunion of friends, you always see loads of people that you have'nt seen in ages, and your talking and laughing the whole time. Most times we would stay there until six in the morning but at about four o'clock the guys decided to go to some bar, so we went to one called ''Natural''. when we stopped in the parking i suddenly saw lots of multicolour flags around the place but i did'nt take notice ''i was kind of drunk'', anyway we went in and I saw two guys kissing and then i saw two other guys kissing which I thought was kind of strange. I asked my friends where the toilet was and they said ''it's over there , you have to go into the dark room and turn on the light'', so when I went in hands just started grabbing me and thats when I found out it was a gay bar, I ran out of the room and i saw my friends just dtanding there and laughting. I will nevere forgive them. If not fot the it would of been the best barraques yet. Until next year.


I think that this is a good form to go out with your friends and to enjoy the weekend because you always find a lot of people who you haven't seen since a lot of time and it's also a possibility to listen some of your favourite groups.
