BARCELONA, Spain (AP) – The Latest on the anti-violence rally in Barcelona (all times local):

6:25 p.m.

Barcelona Mayor Ada Colau says people must “overflow” the streets of the city in a march aimed at showing a “brave” and “diverse” response to violence.

A tweet sent Saturday by Barcelona city hall declared “we are an open, welcoming city of peace. Today we take to the streets again with the cry ‘I’m not afraid.'”

The violent attacks last week by an extremist Islamic cell hit Barcelona’s cultural heart and the nearby coastal town of Cambrils. Ten of 15 people who were killed were foreigners – and another 120 people were injured.
