Huelga General

As most know, Spain is one of many countries facing economic struggles these days. On March 29, there was a nation-wide general strike. A number of us from school participated. I took part to show support and also because I was concerned about getting to and from school safely after last year's strike. Although I stayed away from the heart of the action, we did take a walk around to check things out. Did it make a difference? I'm not so sure. But, it was interesting to see.

People were standing at intersections in order to stop traffic from moving.


Police guarding El Corte Ingles while people were protesting the fact it was open.

Protesters everywhere!
