The second weekend of spring arrives full of colour. Blue prevails, the symbol for autism, providing the colour for the big solidarity festival to mark World Autism Awareness Day. The occasion focuses on a disorder still relatively unknown and associated to myths which hamper social inclusion for sufferers. Activities are also being organised to promote women of Pakistani origin, the Mawlid-an-Nabi festival filling the Rambla del Raval with gastronomy, literature and theatre on Saturday. Elsewhere, anyone wanting to enjoy live music can see the city’s up-and-coming talents in the semi-finals of the Brot on Friday and Saturday evenings.
