Information:
General strike Barcelona News. All public transport including metro, buses, trams, airport buses etc will only operate at 33% of its normal level and only during rush hours on 14th November 2012. You might also experience disruptions of normal service in other types of business during the general strike and some museums, restaurants and shops in the centre will probably be closed.

Is it safe for tourists in Barcelona during the general strike? Yes. The demonstrations are generally peaceful, but there can be violent and isolated incidents, so we advise you to take normal precautions and generally not to stay near or in the protest marches at a late hour as sometimes the protests can turn violent in the final hours late at night.

The main event of the 14N protest demonstration in Barcelona starts at 18.00 / 6pm on Plaza Catalunya. The demonstration route is up Passeig de Gracia (in the direction of the Tibidabo hill) and up Av Diagonal to end at the junction of Av Diagonal and Gran Via de Carles III. There will be nine picket lines around the city organised by the unions to attempt to paralyse commerce and movement in the city.
