A crowd of buyers and some works collapse the Portal de l’Àngel in Barcelona

It was foreseeable that the start of the Christmas campaign, added to ‘Black Friday’ and the eagerness of locals and visitors to take to the streets after the restrictions of a year ago, would crowd the center of Barcelona this Saturday. For this reason, it was difficult for many to understand this afternoon that the local epicenter of the ‘shopping’ Portal de l’Àngel is partially taken over by some works that have turned this axis into a Mousetrap for a few moments.

The commerce of the area already regretted weeks ago that some works on public roads to improve the water pipeline coincide with peak sales dates. They were very necessary works, but they have taken longer than expected, at a time of economic reactivation and with a marabout of buyers which had not been seen for many months. In parallel, the city council notified Barna Center other occasional pavement maintenance jobs, these days too.

In the morning there has been a large influx to the area, but without reaching the afternoon traffic jam, when some pedestrians – tired of waiting before the bottleneck that has formed – have opted for raise the fences surrounding the ditches and going through the middle. A risky option, considering that the pavement is gutted, and that there were no local police regulating the mess that has formed.
