The power returned (partially) while it was still daylight, and people applauded and excitedly photographed streetlights. At dusk, Barcelona became a mixture of darkness and light. Some streets were illuminated; in others, nothing could be seen beyond a few balconies with their bulbs on and cell phone flashlights on for orientation. Why has electricity been restored to the homes and not the streets? It's a question municipal sources haven't been able to answer. As the hours passed and dawn arrived, the center of Barcelona returned to what it was, with an artificial light (almost without dark spots) that revealed drunken tourists zigzagging with bottles in their hands, cleaning crews, and police officers (today twice as many as on other nights) patrolling.
