I didn't post about at the time, but when I went to Europe in May I walked down Las Ramblas and ate dinner at one of the restaurants. Neat place, we plan on going back.
We have many pedestrian streets around where I live.
Most of them just have a sign at the entrance that says vehicles are not allowed, but nothing to phyically block a vehicle from taking that street.
People that have shops in those streets need to access it with their delivery truck, usually early in the morning when there's no pedestrians yet.
The police, EMS, postal services, and other services still need to access the street.
I never walk right in the middle of the street, I stay on the side next to the bollars (or those big trees in that picture in Spain) or other sturdy street furnitures (lamp posts, concrete bench etc).
I also keep me head on a swivel knowing that cars car can access the street as they sometimes do, and look both ways before crossing like I would any other street.
A pedestrian street in the morning:
I guess it's pretty similar to "gun-free zones", they make you feel safe but the only reason why people don't bring a gun (or a truck/van) is because they decide to obey signs; no because they are unable to bring a gun or truck into the "safe zone".
You can get run over by a car in a pedestrian street same way you can get shot in a "gun-free" zone.
I'm not a history expert, but didn't the Europeans kick out the Muslims several hundred years ago? Like King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella? Maybe Europeans then were smarter than European now.
Unrelated, but I always wondered about France and Algeria. The Algerians fought a bitter rebellion in the 60's to kick the French out of Africa. So why the heck do the Algerians now want to migrate to France? If I'm running the show in France, I'd run them out.
All this crap has made me and many I know, more supportive of Trump.

Why LOL? If it stays on schedule it'll be done before I'm 80.
Pied Noirs. After independence, the Algerians gave the ethnic French, some who had been in Algeria for generations, a choice between the "suitcase or the coffin".

Not sure if serious, BUT, when we toured Sagrada, I recall them saying Gaudi said it would never be complete but an evolving sort of thing. That was less than 12 hours after arriving from the US, so, I could be foggy. YMMV. Anywho, architecturally, it is pretty sweet.
ETA: google doesn't agree with the above, but that's how I remember it, which means I'm wrong. :-)

Fake bomb belts, was that also in the London Bridge attack?? Edit: yes.
The injured and dead were from 24 different countries, including France, Germany, Pakistan and the Philippines, a government statement said.
Police have detained three men, including a Moroccan, a man from Spain's autonomous African city of Melilla, and one man whose identity was unknown. Two of the men did not drive van. The third man's arrest circumstances remain unknown.
Meantime, security authorities have thwarted a second terror attack in Cambrils, a town south of Barcelona, killing 5 suspects equipped with bomb belts trying to replicate the earlier attack in Barcelona. But the belts were later found to be fake, authorities said.

Interesting vid of Spanish police taking down a guy in Cambrils.
Cambrils: 'Pop pop, a couple of shots and he fell down' - BBC News
Not sure what the link was to the attacks, but the police were sure convinced he was a threat.
Another video on CNN is from a guy who, I think, was downrange when the shots were fired. The mic picks up what sounds like a ricochet.
Scary stuff.
The CNN amateur vid includes shots of what look like dead people, possibly shot, that no one is attending to. Likely to be the suspected terrorists.
The Cambrils individuals appear to have had fake suicide vests. Which, these days, turn out to be real suicide vests - suicide by supersonic lead poisoning.
