Hundreds of thousands of people packed downtown Barcelona on Sept. 11 to celebrate Catalonia's national day, an anniversary that provided a stage for the many Catalans who hope to vote soon for independence from Spain.
People wore yellow-and-red T-shirts — the same colors as the Catalan flag and the pro-independence Estelada flag.
Spain's central government says the Oct. 1 vote is illegal. (AP)
