STARS: 13
Sad day in Barcelona. I have a lot of great memories in this city. My favorite city on earth filled with beautiful and intelligent people. It was about this time last year I was strolling down La Rambla with my kids. A fucking shame.

It’s crazy to hear stuff like this, Charlottesville are still happening in the first world. Shocking to hear that over 100 people were injured and 13 killed.

Thankfully the police foiled another attack by killing five in Cabrils.

Spanish police say they have killed five suspected terrorists in the town of Cambrils to stop a vehicle attack, after an earlier one in Barcelona.
The men, wearing explosive belts, were linked to the first attack, police say.
The authorities are now also linking the attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils with an explosion at a house on Wednesday evening in the town of Alcanar that left one person dead.
Police chief Josep Lluis Trapero said it appeared the residents at the Alcanar house had been “preparing an explosive device”.
In Cambrils, seven people, including a police officer, were wounded when a car was driven into them early on Friday, Catalan emergency services said. One person is in a critical condition.
Spanish media reported that the attackers’ vehicle overturned and when the men got out they were quickly fired upon by police.
A series of controlled explosions was then carried out.
Police say the situation in Cambrils - a popular seaside resort to the south-west of Barcelona - is now under control.
Meanwhile police are continuing to search for the driver of the van used in the Barcelona attack, who fled on foot. He is believed to be the sole attacker there.

I forgot to look for my pictures of Las Ramblas. I was there a few years ago. Gaudi is amazing. I loved all his stuff
