It was the time to express the wish of Catalan people; it was the time
when the Catalan nation united by a single feeling; and it was.
There were great expectations about the proposed acts of Catalonia Day,
including the crowd manifestation in favor of independence, and the people
responded in the best way. With a stake of roughly 1,500,000 people, who came
from all over Catalonia (with buses organized by different institutions, or
public transport, or private cars), the streets of Barcelona were collapsed of senyeres, estelades and patriotic songs.
The buses of Sant Julià left at half past 2 to arrive in Barcelona at
quarters of 6 pm (in a small village like Sant Julià there were seven buses,
that did that I had more desire to participle in it). The atmosphere inside the bus
was really of desire to claim with estelades
placed on all the windows. My family and I left, everything went fine but
before reaching the tolls of Barcelona, there was a multiple accident of four
buses that brought to behind, luckily we didn’t happen anything. We continue to
Barcelona but buses were also from Sant Julià stayed there for less of oil, and
other imperfections, after a half hour another buses picked them up to finish
the journey. When we arrived in Barcelona there were estelades in the balconies and people in the street started to
began to parade toward the manifestation. We were about a quarter-hour through
the city trying to find a place to park the bus because the places that were
prepared were already occupied by more than 1,100 buses from all over
Catalonia. At the end we get to park in the corner of C/Valencia with C/2 de
maig.
We went down the bus and started walking to start of the event, you
could see more people and although individually you felt smaller each time, you
feel stronger and more willing to continue claiming. The atmosphere with the estelades waving in the blue sky and the
canticles and the shouts of independence did you goose bumps and it’s because saw
so many people united by a single cause you’d be proud of it.
I wore a white shirt of Catalonia, a barretina
on my head and an estelada tied to
the back. I shouted and threw a lot of pictures to remember this historic milestone
although we didn’t move a lot along the streets because there were a lot of
people and the buses left at 9 o’clock.
We left Barcelona with the pride of the act we had carried out together,
we saw many cars that removed the estelada
out the window and finally we arrived at Sant Julià when was time to went to
sleep. But before the end of the day we wanted to make sure that was not a
dream and we watched the news that gave the 3/24 to demonstration that it was
real, it happened, it was possible.
It
was an historic milestone so will be record all the live and I could say that I
was there!
