<p>Like on previous days, Sunday began with a peaceful protest in Barcelona, where graffiti artists painted a mural critical of Spain’s King Felipe VI and his father, former king Juan Carlos I, to show what they called solidarity with rapper Pablo Hasel.</p>
<p>But as night fell, the tension increased as protesters mostly dressed in dark clothes marched through the city centre to the National Police headquarters.</p>
<p>After half an hour of being pelted by rocks, bottles, rubbish and firecrackers, Catalan police moved in supported by vans to clear the street in from the station.</p>
<p>Shops in Barcelona’s city centre were again targeted by vandals who broke windows.</p>
<p>More than 100 people, including seven on Sunday, have been arrested following the violent clashes with police since Hasel was arrested on Tuesday to serve a ninth-month prison sentence for his tweets and lyrics that insulted the Spanish monarch and praised terrorism violence.</p>
<p>Catalan police said that on Saturday over 35 arrests were made in Barcelona and other nearby towns after rioters smashed store windows and engaged in running battles with police.</p>
<p>Other protests across Spain, including the capital Madrid, remained mostly peaceful.</p>
