“One of the summer classics is back,” celebrates the cultural newsletter I receive in my email.
The text refers to one of Barcelona’s main music festivals, Cruïlla (“crossroads” in Catalan, a reference to the “vocation” of the event to promote “meetings”, according to the official website), which, after a year of truce, takes place between July 8 and 10, 2021.
The event, which welcomes up to 75,000 people in each edition, takes place at the same time as Spain, in the space of two weeks, once again becomes one of the countries with the highest rate of contagion in Europe, thanks to the expansion of the Delta variant, especially among young people.
