Huegla General

Spaniards love a good huelga, or strike, yesterday was a 24 hour strike by pretty much everyone. Students, bus divers, metro workers, anyone who wanted a day off (besides the bar tenders and police of course) gathered in the streets and vandalized the banks along Gan Via. The bus' were operating at 30% which ment that the few bus' that passed by were so packed it was better to walk than try and squeeze on. When we got to the city center around 4:30pm we thought maybe the striking was over... we were wrong. After waiting for an hour to get a bus that never came we walked back down Gran Via to see a mass of people in front of the Palacio de Communicaciones! Here are some of the pictures!!

All the Bank  ATM's were vandalized, spray pained or covered in stickers so it was impossible to get money out. 

So Many People!
