Sky News reports:
Catalans are taking part in a general strike called after a police crackdown during Sunday’s controversial independence referendum.
In Barcelona, metro stations were closed, main roads were blocked by pickets and civil servants walked out.
Tens of thousands took to the streets in protest to Spain’s response to the vote, which was deemed illegal by Madrid.

I know you dont normally do this but myself and some other Irish expats in Barcelona are looking to rebuild the Irish community here – it was hit hard by the crisis – and we were hoping you could give us a plug.
We’ve setup Irish In Barcelona. Its a simple email signup and we promise never to send more than four emails a year. We could do something more sophisticated but we hope that by keeping it low impact we will get a broad range of people signing up.
The newsletters will contain info about every Irish related event on in the city – business, social, sporting, cultural – the lot. It’s been up just over a week now and we have a slow but steady rate of signups. If you know anyone interested then please spread the word!

Spanish audiovisual producers MyLapse use a technique that turns timelapse footage into moving kaleidoscopic images.
Here, they apply it to the architecture of Barcelona.
