Barcelona has done it again

It's a few minutes past four in the afternoon. There isn't a single cloud in Barcelona. The sun is beating down mercilessly. Thirty-one degrees, says the mobile. The asphalt gives off an invisible vapor that rises up your body and makes you sweat even if you're in the shade, which is especially coveted. The classic sultriness, accentuated in the middle of the heatwave. And despite it all, dozens, hundreds, thousands of people are defying this Saturday in July to come out into the street and wait patiently behind the metal fences. There's no shortage of caps or sunscreen. Nor beach chairs, fans, or pocket fans. It's time to wait, but it seems to be a wait that's enjoyed, especially by the old hands, those who have already secured a front-row spot and don't want to give it up even if they risk sunstroke.
