Recordist's notes

Renovation work has begun on La Rambla and traffic has been completely altered. Cars are passing across the promenade. Police control the movement of cars and the flow of pedestrians. Every time the policeman decides to allow pedestrians to cross the street they blow the whistle. Radio chatter from police walkie-talkies. (roland r-07)
