A taster of the crisis in the Mediterranean

Already on the first evening I got a taster of the debt crisis in the Mediterranean: when I try to return to my hotel it turns out that tram No. 4 now operates on a shorter route, so I have to switch several times and the trip is longer than it used to be. The very same day several thousand people were demonstrating in front of the Parliament of Catalonia against the austerity measures taken by the government.
