Barcelona celebrates the 50th anniversary of the end of the dictatorship with a poem bombardment over the Cathedral. Dozens of people took part in the poem bombardment event to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the end of the dictatorship, near the Cathedral on June 20, 2026, in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. A helicopter will drop 100,000 poems in the form of bookmarks, which people will be able to pick up from the ground.
