The Spanish Civil War in Barcelona: Hopes and Fears in the Rearguard

The Spanish Civil War is one of the defining moments in Barcelona’s long history. With this easy-to-follow and informative itinerary we will enlighten you on one of the most moving episodes of Spain’s recent history. Following the footsteps of George Orwell during his stay in Barcelona, we will visit the historical places that allow us to see the tragedy that affected the entire Spanish population.

We will portray the daily life of local citizens during and after the war as well as learn about the terrible bombings they suffered. The people of Barcelona were the target of one of the first-ever massive, strategic bombings in World-history. To accurately trace these tragic events, we’ll visit the subterranean galleries of an impressive air-raid shelter where we will be able to feel the hopes and fears of those facing the empowerment of fascism in Europe.
