Another Barcelona is possible

                                    

Can Masdeu is a squatted farm house in the Collserola mountain in Barcelona. 
There is about 25 people living there, joint the group life and realizing activities in the area, such as environmental education workshops or community gardens with different neighboring districts in Nou Barris and Horta.
It seems a good initiative that deserves to be visited in situ. 

It deserves to stay for many years giving air & new sustainable initiatives in rural areas.
