Barraques 2012

From 30 to 6th of April there had been Barraques in Figueres. Barraques is a week full of concerts of different groups that plays different types of music.

This year has come Els catarres, Lax’n Busto, Mojinos escocios, Txarango, Di-versiones and other groups.

I have gone there on Monday 30^th, Friday 4^th and Saturday 5^th and everyday I have enjoyed a lot all the concerts, but maybe the best group has been Mojinos Escocios on Saturday because I know all their songs and I can sing and dance (well, in this type of music you can’t dance, you jump). I went there a lot of days although I had exams the following week, but Barraques only come here once a year, and all the Alt Empordà youth is there, so can’t walk more than fifty meters without meet someone you know. That’s the reason because everybody goes to Barraques in spite of the others discos.

Barraques has many advantages and disadvantages:

On the one hand you don’t have to wear high-heels or dresses, you can wear jeans and jumpers because everybody wears it. Moreover, it’s bigger than a disco so if you feel stressed because of the crowd you can scape from that.

On the other hand, it’s outdoor so if it rains you’ll need an umbrella, and if it’s cold you won’t be comfortable.

But in my point of view there are more advantages, so go to barraques every year is essential.
