La Rambla (original Arabic, meaning "dried up river bed") is a very famous street in Barcelona. All along the wide walking route all kinds of performers enlighten the pedestrians for a few coins. Sidewalk painters, musicians, mime actors, dancers....It's quite a show. Lots of pickpockets, too! I guess they just add spice! These dancers were really talented. In this shot, you may also be observing the artistry of a performer belonging to the last category!!

This is a really colourful shot indeed. I am wondering about the title though 'Tango on street' I think it should read 'Where did her Leg-go on street'!! Some pick pockets they have there!

This is one of the sidewalk shows that I love to encounter in Europe. They would get rousted by the police in most US cities. The land of the free has become the land of the permit, especially since 9/11.
