A spectacular closing in Mercè
After a week full of creativity and cultural expression, the Mercè festivities concluded yesterday with an impressive Pyromusical. Thousands of people gathered in Reina Maria Cristina Avenue to enjoy this show that combines pyrotechnics, music and light.
Rosalía’s music marks the chorus
The soundtrack of the event was designed by the popular Catalan artist Rosalía, who presented a selection of 15 tracks, including her new collaboration with Ralphie Choo, ‘Omega’. This song, released right at midnight, was one of the most anticipated among the attendees.
A calm and safe environment
In contrast to the worries that could be felt before the event, this year’s festivities have passed with surprising calm. The councilor for culture, Xavier Marcè, highlighted the civic behavior of the citizens, stressing that, despite some arrests, no serious incidents or assaults were reported.
A change of perspective in security
After the incidents that marked the previous edition, the authorities have strengthened efforts to guarantee security during the festivities. Mayor Jaume Collboni mentioned that, although the aim is to reduce the police presence, the necessary measures will be taken so that the public can enjoy it in peace.
A Piromusical that attracts masses
The Piromusical was not only the grand finale of the festivities, but also became one of the most outstanding attractions of the Mercè. The images of the explosions of light and color, combined with Rosalía’s music, made Avinguda Maria Cristina become a sea of people celebrating together.
The connection with the public
The artist selected emblematic tracks that made everyone in attendance vibrate, demonstrating his ability to connect with the audience. Tracks like ‘Despechá’ and ‘CUUUUuuuuuuute’ resonated strongly, consolidating their popularity among music lovers.
A look towards the future
With this year’s successful celebration, Barcelona is preparing for future editions of the Mercè, hoping to maintain the festive and safe atmosphere. The combination of art, music and community will continue to be the heart of the festivities, reaffirming the importance of this event in Barcelona’s culture.
