BARCELONA, SPAIN - NOVEMBER 09:  President of Catalonia Artur Mas shows his ballot before casting his vote at a polling station on November 9, 2014 in Barcelona, Spain. Catalans vote today during an unofficial and non-binding consultation on independence of Catalonia from Spain. The decision of the Spain's Constitutional Court to suspend the act has not dissuaded the pro-independence movement from going ahead with the polling and a high turnout is expected.
