This weekend just gone, Barcelona was home to the Harley Davidson Bike show. The Congress Centre in Plaza Espanya was ablaze with the sound of roaring Harley Davidson bike engines. The plaza was full of stalls selling biker wear and gadgets for biking. There were models of the latest bikes all over the place. I would never have guessed that Harley Davidson produces some of the types of bikes I saw. Colourful, exotic, eccentric. You name it, it was there.

There was a fun atmosphere with biker enthusiasts all over the place – eating fast food and drinking cerveza. The Churrerias were doing a roaring trade with the kids who wanted chocolate con churros - a long thin type of doughnut which is dipped in melted chocolate. A real sugar fix. The pavements on Gran Via (Huge Road) – outside the square were jam packed with non Harley Davidson bikes. Spectators who arrived on other types of motorbikes – not Harley Davidsons – were not allowed to park their bikes in the square. The parking in the square was reserved only for the Harley Davidsons. Very elite!!

The Harley Village was where the latest and greatest of Harley Davidsons could be seen. Wow, lots of money dripping around in there. The spectators came dressed in their leather bikers gear – well some of them. It sounded like bikers from other parts of Europe had jetted or ridden in for this event too. English accents and German accents could be heard. All seemed to enjoy themselves and the prevailing biking atmosphere.
