Street Performers in Barcelona
Las Ramblas is Barcelona’s busiest street and is known for many things, one being street performers. All the performers have different quirky and spontaneous personalities. Each performer doing his/her job to keep the tourists entertained along their stroll down this long busy street. Many of these act as ‘Human Statues’ looking for loose change, and when money is dropped into their hat or box in front of them they grace the tourist with a special performance. Reading an article on “the Statues of Las Ramblas- Barcelona’s Creative Works” I found that many people have been performing as statues for many years and the competition between costume’s and performance’s is very intense in these economic times.
