Rioters and baton-wielding police clashed on Barcelona's emblematic main boulevard, Las Ramblas, yesterday as the atmosphere around the summit of EU leaders became increasingly heated.
Anti-globalisation protests across the city turned ugly when a mysterious group called Marc Atack demonstrated outside the Liceu opera house.
Police baton-charged the crowd as a breakaway group began to move down the boulevard.
More than 100 protesters, many wearing masks and helmets, poured into a neighbouring street, hurling bricks at the windows of luxury hotels.
The trouble was far from the conference centre and hotel on the outskirts of Barcelona where Tony Blair and other European leaders were meeting.
There was more trouble in other parts of the city last night, with police charging another protest in the Gracia neighbourhood.
