Spain has accepted just 1,100 refugees of the over 17,000 it has pledged to take in.
Marchers held a large banner and signs in Catalan with the slogans ‘Enough Excuses! Take Them In Now!’ and ‘No More Deaths, Open The Borders!’ as they made their way through the city centre to its Mediterranean coast.
