On Saturday, hundreds of thousands of people marched in Barcelona in a show of unity.
Holding placards and banners which read “I am not afraid”, the march was led by emergency workers, shopkeepers and residents of the city’s Las Ramblas boulevard.
Members of Spain’s Islamic community marched alongside King Felipe and Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.
A cell of 12 jihadists has been blamed for the attacks. Eight are dead, while four have appeared in court in Madrid.
