València

Because of the city party (Fallas) there is a lot of glass and rests of fireworks in the ground :s...and i had my third flat tire :s in the last days...

Today it's the last day of the BIG traditional party and it's when all the fallas (strange monuments made with paper, plastic, wood and metal) are burned in all the neighborhoods of Valencia, as all the squatters went out, in the afternoon I meet Franscesca, an italian girl friend meet with Ana two days ago.

I had ANOTHER flat tire and had to walk in the city visiting some fallas burning (lots of smoke, fireworks and pollution).... everyone goes crazy here...
Then I meet Francesca and Sophia and we went to their house to drink wine and see the fallas from their roof :D

València

Waked up early to go to a solidarity protest in a prison near Valencia, to give some music to the prisoners, people arrested just for being poor! It's quite obvious the inefficiency of a prison and that inequality provokes delinquency
We march around the prison with a sound system and there was a live concert for the prisoners from the outside... we received some positive reaction from inside ;)
In the night I went to the center to the popular party...there is people everywhere and lots of fireworks... then i met Alba, a girl who participated in GAIA meetings sometimes when she lived in Porto...really nice to meet known faces so far away from home ;)
