Barcelona, a hugely popular tourist destination, came to a halt at noon on Friday (11am BST) as a minute’s silence was observed in the Placa Catalunya, close to the scene of the attack.
Led by King Felipe and Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy the silence was then followed by applause for the victims.
Three days of mourning have been declared by the government of Catalonia.
