I found this at the SciFi BB, and since it doesn't look like it's been posted here, I thought I'd post it :)

Hi! I know that it has been near a week and half since the Global Rally, but well, for the people who has curiosity, here is my report about the Barcelona Rally.
“This is Aerynjohn, and this report is my point of view of all that happened in the Barcelona Rally.
There wasn't as much people as in other Rallies in the world, because it has been long since the last time we watched a Farscape episode in TV (and I don't know how many months more we'll have to wait yet), so some fans have lost interest, and others probably don't know yet, since they don't connect to Internet because they don't want to get spoiled with 4th season info. However, it wasn't that bad.
The number of people in the Rally oscillated during all day.
Near 11 a.m I arrived with Kiriol at the Arc de Triomf Underground Station. There we saw FerScaper in the corridor, so we stopped him and went togheter out to the surface. Pipashell, our coordinator, was already waiting there. She introduced us to Núria and her son. We stayed some time near the underground entrance finishing and exchanging flyers and admiring the posters we brought.
Leviathan, another Scaper, was already waiting under the Arc de Triomf, and Selma and her friend Tati arrived a few minutes later with a big banner, which we put in one side of the arc. Selma also brought a video camera, so we started to take some footage of the Rally. Also we started writing dedications and signing the banner, and sometimes saying out loud “SAVE FARSCAPE”. About 45 minutes later, Nuria and her son had to go, so we said goodbye and gave them our best wishes. A bit later, Silviacat and Cris arrived. They were impressed with Selma and Tati’s big banner. Silviacat had another camera, so we kept on filming. Soon, Leviathan had to go and said goodbye, just as Daver arrived. We continued doing noise, filming, and showing the banner, so a lot of people watched at us curiously while others came to ask what it was about. The most remarkable thing was when an old woman asked us about it and took a flyer.
Then, four of us started the "Science Fiction route" while the rest continued under the arc with the posters and the rest of the flyers. We call it that way because in this zone of Barcelona there’s a lot of stores with magazines and merchandise of sci-fi series. Pipashell, Cris, Silviacat and I went there to place some flyers about the cancellation of Farscape. We didn’t have any problem, and the people of the stores were very kind. Later we came back to the arc with the others, who continued in good mood. We stayed there until 2 p.m., when we decided to go get lunch.
We had to say goodbye to Daver, while the rest of the gang continued its way towards “Plaça Catalunya” and “Portal de l’Angel”, where the Mc Donald’s in where we had lunch, is situated. All the way, we kept the banner visible and we kept giving out flyers to the surprised and curious people who where in the street.
At about 5.pm , after lunch and a bit of rest, we returned to Plaça Catalunya, where we waited for Marcos. When he arrived, we went to Urquinaona, where we took the underground (all the time doing noise :P) to go to “Vila Olímpica.” When we arrived there we continued our rally. Near the zone of the two towers, one person of a group of tourists saw our banner and told us: “Yeah, FarScape!!”. It seemed like she knew the show ;). We continued walking until we arrived near the beaches. In one zone there’s and enormous fish which looks like a monument and which curiously can remind you of Moya. We filmed it and later we went down to the beach to finish our Rally singing a song that we titled “We are the Scapers”, which we recorded on video, showing our banner and with the sea behind us.
Now my impressions about the rally are that it was more people that noticed us and were curious about this than we thought before the Rally, so I think that we accomplished our mission. The negative part was that some people who wanted to came at the end they couldn’t because of various problems. However the most important thing of the rally is we had a good time, it was great to be with some others Scapers, and be there for our beloved show which has joined us.
AerynJohn’s out.”

It sounds like they had a lot of fun! :) I wish I could have been there! (Not least because I've always wanted to see Barcelona ;) )
