take the streets: outbreaks of revolutionary fervour

Barcelona. 26/5/2011 Day 12.

Today I have heard of at least four new squares being occupied in different  barrios (districts) of the city, with street assemblies of up to 800 people in Santa Coloma. There have also been outbreaks of ‘pot banging’ in inner city areas with people of all ages joining in. The central square of Plaza Catalunya is becoming a tent city, well organised with every imaginable activity and incredible adrenalin. When 3000 demonstrating students arrived this afternoon they couldn´t  physically fit in and the whole thing began ballooning out, while being photographed by stacks of tourists.

This is a real post not a cut and paste.
