Walking on air in Barcelona: tightrope walker crosses Passeig de Gràcia boulevard
French Nathan Paulin walks 70 meters above ground from Portal de l'Àngel to Gran Via street
French tightrope walker Nathan Paulin crossed Barcelona's Passeig de Gràcia boulevard on Sunday at 8 pm.
The event marked the second official opening ceremony of the city's summer Grec Festival, and he walked from Portal de l'Àngel to Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes.
The 350-meter walk lasted 40 minutes, and Paulin walked 70 meters above the ground.
The performance was thought by Rachid Ouramdane and had composer Jean-Baptiste Julien adding a soundtrack.
The show, which forced traffic closures, also commemorated Passeig de Gràcia's 200th anniversary.
