Some 120,000 people welcome the new year in front of the Font Màgica in Barcelona
Some 120,000 people have given the welcome to the new year on Avenida Maria Cristina in Barcelona, where a fireworks show and chimes of light and fire have been offered, after two years conditioned by the coronavirus pandemic, as reported by the City Council.
Thousands of people since the late hours of the afternoon have already flocked to the Plaza de Espanya area to be able to participate in this festival, whose theme was twinning between towns and which was an original creation for the city by the French company Group F, under the direction of Christophe Berthonneau.
The show began an hour before midnight with a light and sound show typical of the Font Màgica.
The Gruope F production was a celebration of “twinning between peoples” and a “call for harmony, understanding and weaving complicity from everything that unites us”.
In addition, it was a call for peace “in a moment as symbolic and special as the beginning of a new year.”
The cleaning devices work in the city of Barcelona from the early hours of this January 1 after the New Year’s Eve party. Much of it has focused on Avenida Maria Cristina, where the New Year’s Eve show was held.
