This is a good news podcast! With almost three quarters of the population fully vaccinated and less than 100 people in ICU - down from nearly 600 at the beginning of August - almost all of Catalonia's Covid-19 restrictions have been lifted. Capacity limits are no longer in place in most settings, restaurants have returned to pre-pandemic opening hours and nightclubs are back in business. Cristina Tomàs White and Cillian Shields join Lorcan Doherty to discuss the latest coronavirus figures and measures, including a trip to Razzmatazz, one of Barcelona's biggest clubs, as it reopens for the first time in 19 months. The Catalan phrase this week is 'tenir la festa en pau'. Literally meaning 'to have the party in peace', it's used, for example, to urge people to calm down and move on during an argument.
