So lucky!

Barcelona has many fantastic events, museums, and beaches, but I love living in a smaller town that hosts events that I can walk to and don't have to fight the crowds to enjoy.

This weekend was the 42nd Meeting of the National Bastoners of Catalonia. I tried to capture the variety among the 55 groups,

There was definitely an independence theme among the groups.

Some groups have several musicians, one had an amplified
violin player, but this group had a single musician.

An unusual title for a piece!

The range of ages among the performers was large.

but you can find a lot more amazing pictures of the 1000 bastoners here.

Lucky to be able to live here!
