A resident of the area, who gets up very early for work reasons, reported that the crowd on Diagonal on the way home, the tourist apartment, the hotel or the youth hangout from Primavera Sound was impressive. There were two reasons not to pay too much attention to it: it is known that what happens near where we live seems more important than it really is and it is also known that the crossing at dawn between those who are partying and those who go to work creates friction, ask in any early bar.
But at the same time it seemed plausible that in an edition with a record attendance of Primavera Sound on Diagonal there would be stamps of overcrowding never seen before. We will puncture the balloon from the start: there were none at dawn on Saturday. More or less as always. Unlike what happens in the nightclubs on Just Marlés Avenue in Lloret de Maror at least it used to happen, not everyone leaves Primavera Sound at the same time.
However, there were mobility aspects worth mentioning between 03:00 and 05:00 in the surroundings of the Parc del Fòrum. Like the patience with which the staff made huge queues to catch the tram, a shuttle bus or a taxi at the Josep Pla con Taulat stop. And like the determination with which most people headed down the Diagonal for a long walk, we’ll get there.
Circulatory macarrismo
Or not, they’ll still knock you out, because the central platform of Diagonal was a crazy pedicab race. In both directions, with a ticket leaving the Fòrum and looking for a ticket to the Fòrum, at full throttle and going through any traffic regulations in both cases. Not even in the most badass bumper car track has so much circulatory badass been seen. Ok, you have to earn a living and Primavera Sound is a mine, but it scared me to walk in the middle of it an erratic crossfire of battery rickshawswho run that they are peeled, the artifacts.
The price? casual and like a drug in times of scarcity: 15 “euritos” from almost Plaça de les Glòries to Paseo de Sant Joan with Consell de Cent, was the robbery offer.
