Overview of your Barcelona tour
I am passionate about the history and politics of the 20th century. I believe we must bear in mind the facts of the past to know who we are. The Civil War and the Spanish dictatorship marked my family's path. Being able to understand and integrate those facts makes me love my parents and grandparents more. Being able to share the recent past of my country with you gives a lot of meaning to my work, thank you. Catalonia is a nationality within Spain. Barcelona is the capital. Catalonia has a strong and deep sense of identity. We Catalans have been defined by the strategic location of our land, and by political and social events. During the tour we will visit places in the city that will contextualize the events that have marked the current political chaos. My goal with this tour is to shed some light on the contradictions and conflicts so present today in the Catalan reality. This is a PRIVATE TOUR FOR YOUR PARTY ONLY: You are not part of a larger group.
Your Barcelona tour itinerary
Our itinerary around the Barcelona includes: * Catalonia Square. In its surroundings there were important command centers of the different factions fighting in the Civil War. * The Rambla. A long boulevard where George Orwell passed big part of hid time in Barcelona during the Civil War. * The Barri Gòtic.
