Okay. I didn't really have a chance to keep up with blogging, so let's rewind to day four of our Barcelona-trip. The festival is taking its toll and we are getting more tired, so we just take it easy during the day, seeing as we have to stay up all night (the festival ended around 6:00AM every morning)
We went to the geekiest bar I've ever seen, Bosc de les Fades: it was decorated like a fairytale-cave/forest kind of thing so obviously I was beyond excited.
Then we went to another bar. And then the beach. What a day!
Then we decided it was time to head to the festival! We saw Explosions in the Sky, who were definitely the highlight of my day and the second best thing at the whole festival, after Sufjan of course.
Other than that we saw Belle and Sebastian, Low, Fiery Furnaces, Pere Ubu, Tennis, M. Ward, Ariel Pink aaaand PULP. Seeing Pulp was extra exciting, obviously.
The next day we did EVEN LESS, but around 4PM we went to the Auditorium to see Perfume Genius. They were a bit boring but it was a nice excuse to doze off a bit in comfy chairs. The Auditorium was in such a nice building!
We met some lovely Swedish friends, funny thing was that Daniel's friend Charlotte and my friend Michela were each other's friends as well. Such a small world!
Michela is really lovely and an amazingly talented photographer, check out her website.
♥ Hottie.
Oh yeah, Michela's boyfriend Oscar is also awesome at photography.
This day we saw Fleet Foxes, The Album Leaf, Perfume Genius, The Tallest Man On Earth, Yuck, Warpaint, Za!, Mogwai, PJ Harvey and Einstürzende Neubauten.
Oh yeah, and then Barcelona won the Champions League and the whole city went crazy! We were staying at Plaza Catalunya where things got completely out of hand that night! Riots and fights and police. I don't understand why they still have to fight even though they won! We got home safe, though.
All in all it was a really awesome festival and an even more awesome trip. I really enjoyed Barcelona and I will definitely come back! The architecture was just breath-taking all around. Thank you all for your tips on where to go, it definitely made my stay more successful.
Song of the day: The Album Leaf - Always For You

There used to be a festival in that grounds called Summercase which was AMAZING, I am guessing this was equally good! So glad you had a blast, very jealous you got to meet Jarvis! x

These picture are so cool, especially the first one ;)

Woah... you met Jarvis Cocker! He was completely awesome!
Some of the fights were probably about the police crackdown on a bunch of peaceful protesters in Plaça Catalunya the day before. There's a lot of bad feeling towards them at the moment.
Those caves look mindblowing! I'm seriously envious of your trip!
