Very cool - they looked so life-like, yet strange in comparison to the crowd below. Another interesting soundtrack, too! :D

exactly... oneiric... thanks ¿:)

[@secul999]

The giants are surprising, especially its air so real, or surreal. The percussive music is Iannis Xénakis: Pléïades. Thanks ¿:)

[@secul999]

certainly...

I think I saw this festival when I visited Barcelona in 2002. Do they fire guns during the parade?

In this Festival, els Diables (The Devils) walking down the streets and throw potent petards to the people. Els Trabucaires (blunderbussers +-) shoots to the sky with fire guns... Ha, ha ¿:)
