Barcelona is one of a number of European communities which have large numbers of wild boar living nearby and they have become a common presence in the city itself.
The singer Shakira, who lives in Barcelona, recently complained that a boar had attacked her in a park, and encounters between locals and the animals have been on the increase.
As a result, the local government is trying to bring the boars under control.
