Professional musician Alvaro Concha, from Chile, plays his guitar in the street as he sells to pedestrians his own music recorded in CDs for ten euros in Barcelona downtown, Spain, on Thursday, Oct. 24, 2013. Spain's National Statistics Institute says the country's jobless rate edged down from 26.3 percent to 26.0 percent during the third quarter, a day after the Bank of Spain laid out the hope that the recession was over. The institute said Thursday the number of people out of work dropped by 72,800 July through September, leaving the total number of people unemployed at a rounded 5.9 million.
