It was possible to vote normally.
The day before, there is a castellers workshop.
Some people sleep in the street.
Early morning. The queue is immense.

Huge crowd in front of the school. Hot chocolate is prepared (Newspaper: Independent Gràcia).
The locals block the street when the Mossos d'Esquadra pass, to ensure that the polling station can be set up.

To the chant of "Sense iaies no hi ha revolució" ("Without the grandparents, there is no revolution") the elderly are allowed to vote first.
Al crit de "sense les iaies no hi ha revolució"
