A video has emerged of an unusual protest in a residential area in Barcelona, Spain on Thursday night.

In the footage, captured by a homeowner in La Sagrada Familia, a large amount of noise can be heard as residents in surrounding houses bang pots and pans in an organised ‘cassolada’.

The residents are protesting against the Spanish government’s decision to halt a referendum on Catalonia’s independence on the 09th November.

According to local sources, Thursday was the third consecutive night in which a cassolada could be heard in multiple parts of Catalonia.
