The Socialists surge to top spot in Catalonia but are edged out in Barcelona by former mayor Xavier Trias, while Ada Colau slips to third.

The People's Party double their vote share and far-right Vox make breakthroughs across Catalonia.

This week's Catalan phrase is "estar amb l'ai al cor." Literally, "to be with the 'oh' in your heart," it means to have your heart in your mouth or to be holding your breath.
