Fans on the way to the Olympic Stadium high on the hill of Montjuic.
Sant Andreu is a predominantly working district of 142,000 in Barcelona’s north. In one of its seven barris (neighbourhoods) is the 6,500 Camp Municipal Narcis Sala.
Barcelona hope to be back at their revamped Camp Nou by August.
There has been a resurgence of interest in more localised football where the strength of the community is clear. The fan influence, too.
