Man says goodbye to Barcelona with balloon gifts

Lucas Jatobá had enjoyed living in Barcelona so much, that when it was time to move, he wanted to say a big thank you to the city.

And the 29-year-old Brazilian did it in style, he released 250 balloons containing free tickets to a theatre production into the sky.

After sticking the tickets to cards along with a note, he visited several key tourist spots and let the balloons go.

Jatobá said he hoped this would give the people who found the heart-shaped foil balloons the chance to have as much fun in the Spanish city as he had.

Speaking of the stunt, he said: "For the last 3 years I’ve been really happy living in Barcelona and that’s why I’d like to say goodbye being grateful to the city in a special way."
