I do not know how many universities in Moscow, but in Barcelona, we found five (5) streets Ramblas and four types of police officers. In fact, we saw only two
Source-Guide Posters.
1. In the operetta painted with short-cocked guns go gendarmes from Guardia Civil. In Catalonia they especially do not like - and ever more since they were right-hand man Franco, this is the very same forces d'ocupacio (occupation forces), which were written at night on walls and fences.
2. The next type of government Policia Nacional in blue uniforms with the English flag on his sleeve or in blue overalls in the manner of paratroopers. From these, too, a little confusing: people are not local, and misdirected from Madrid, so even as to go do not know.
3. The way it is better to ask the local police - Policia Local, which is also in Barcelona called the City Guard (Guardia Urbana). They are easily recognizable by the blue-white checkered band on their caps and cars.
And also they can be recognized by an inscription Guardia Urbana on the machine
One might ask how to get to the library ...
Or simply think, looking at them - nice guys, I wonder when they change ends today?
4. Finally, the most recent order of the ministers - Catalan autonomous police Mossos d'Esquadra in blue uniforms with red tabs or funny caps on one side, designed to resemble the Catalan national headgear. Catalan police - local, the most serious authority and order, many do not speak and have the right to use physical force. Road can, and prompt, but City held the case have yet popriyatnee.
not so easy to shoot on the move, especially the cops in the performance of (probably), but still putting the camera
completely out of place, but in a rhyme reminds
«Little Man too frozen finger,
it hurts and laugh, and his mother threatened him at the window ... »

Yes, all these people were shot in the Gothic Quarter, on the approach to the cathedral named sv.Evlalii.
But to finish with the police until they have finished with us, I can not show yet another sweet couple. Or Trinity, judge for yourself.
I think we have something in common, do not you?
This is not Mossos d'Esquadra a "ridiculous caps askew," despite the caps this city Guardian - Here is a sample uniforms
Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic.)
Cathedral of Barcelona / Catedral de Barcelona, the name of the Holy Cross and St. Eulalia at least is on site of the Roman basilica of the VI century.
Barcelona legend tells us that during the reign of Emperor Diocletian (c. 305) in a Christian family lived a beautiful a girl named Eulalia (Latin Eulalia). For the Christian faith it was subjected to severe torture, crucified and beheaded. Then a miracle happened: from the mouth of the martyr fluttered dove, and the body covered with fresh snow
In 713, the fear of riots Muslim holy relics Eulalia hid, and up to 878 years no one knew where they hid. In 1339 shrine finally sought out and putting in alabaster sarcophagus, placed in the crypt of the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and St. Eulalia of Barcelona Cathedral
Dimensions are: 93 meters in length and 40 meters wide. The height of the octagonal clock tower is 50 meters. The height of the spire of the central tower is 70 meters. In the crypt contained alabaster sarcophagus of St. Eulalia in 1339 And in the courtyard of the monastery is situated near the cathedral always keep 13 geese. Each of which is the symbol of one year of life Martyr Eulalia.
If you want to become better acquainted with the holy martyr - here and found a picture by John William Waterhouse

Now go on a walk through the Jewish quarter, once you can guess where else you'll see a store with such a name?
In fact, unfortunately, the Jewish Quarter (Call) in Barcelona, there is almost arbitrarily.
Jews lived in Barcelona from 1 st century BC. e .- time destruction of the Temple. By the beginning of the XIII century community in Barcelona was the richest and most influential Jewish community and the center of Jewish learning in Spain. In 1263 Barcelona hosted the famous stories in Jewish public debate between the Ramban and the monk-baptized Pablo Christiani. In 1367 the inhabitants of the Jewish ghetto of the city have been accused of desecrating the Christian church "holy bread".
In 1391 the Christian crowd is completely ruined and destroyed the Jewish ghetto, killing about 400 people. On the ruins of the synagogue was built the church in which the surviving Jews were subjected to enforced baptism. In 1397 the king forbade the existence of the Jewish ghetto. In 1492 all the Jews in Spain, not consented to be baptized, were robbed and then expelled from the kingdom.
houses of Jews were dismantled and used for the construction of new ones.
Indeed, it is no rot is good. Illustration - not very good, but still noticeable inscription in Hebrew on one of the slabs of masonry.

Which means: Hospice p. Shmuel Asriri. The candle burns it forever.
bottom attached another marble slab, a few larger sizes. It shows the translation of the Hebrew inscriptions on the English language and few words about the fact that this bond board was discovered in 1828 during the restructuring is on this site of the old house. It is symbolic that this, perhaps the only real trace of Jewish life, surviving on the streets, shows compassion, caring for neighbors and the needy. It is not known who was Rabbi Shmuel Asriri, how he lived his life, aware of only one of his good deed - and since then the "candle burns it forever!
