Weather is still damp with drizzle and not the best kind of day for a rally. Yes, it's that time of year again when Catalans from both sides of the frontier commemmorate the excecution of Lluis Campanys by the Franco regime. This year it was particularly important as a referendum on Independance is the air. The keynote speaker was the Mayor from Sant Pere de Torelló, the first town to declare itself independant. All the impassioned rhetoric, political fervour and bold Catalan colours were in strong contrast to the swirling mist. Had lunch with the Mayor and his wife in the nearest restaurant and the penalty for two cups of coffee was a sleepless night.
