Points forts
Join us on a captivating walk through the Catalan capital and world-class city of Barcelona, where we take an UNBIASED look at both sides of the Spanish political coin: to allow an avenue for Catalan independence versus the preservation of Spanish unity. When demonstrators shout ´Visca Catalunya!´ (Long Live Catalonia!), what lies behind those passionate cries? And how widespread is their support, remembering that Spain is both a former world empire, AND a fractured nation of 44 million people speaking 4 different languages. We’ll consider Catalonia’s annexation by Spain and France in the War of 1714, and its consistent cultural suppression since, most notoriously and recently under the infamous Fascist Spanish dictator, Francisco Franco. We investigate what possible resolutions can emerge from this standoff. Trust our guide to take you on a riveting journey - not only political in scope, but scenic and aesthetic in practice, as we enjoy a city area not saturated by common tourism.

Itinéraire
We begin outside the imposing former Marketplace of El Born which, in recent years, has garnered government funding for the display of Catalan artefacts.
Take a breath and enjoy views of the gorgeous local basilica made famous by the bestselling book and subsequent Netflix series "Cathedral of the Sea"
Bestriding the Basilica, we find the oft-derided monument to Catalonia's war dead of 1714 and the eternal flame that keeps watch over the symbolic red bricks.
Recognize an escape route for exiles to France during the Fascist Uprising in Barcelona.
We see a statue of General Prim, a Catalan military legend that also served in the Spanish Imperial Army, then stop outside the Catalan parliament to discuss the 2017 'illegal' referendum and the ferocious political fallout.
Why is this 'alternative' Arch of Triumph so significant to the story of Catalan identity? It relates to the emergenge of Barcelona as an industrial powerhouse in the 1880s. We climax the tour underneatha figure of the most talked about hero/turncoat/pioneer of the St. Eulalia defence of the besieged city, and speculate on whether his surrender to the Spanish had either a galvanizing or demoralising effect in the cause for Catalan resistance.

About Barcelone
Barcelone marie les édifices de Gaudí et un quartier gothique médiéval, entre plages méditerranéennes et collines vertes, cuisine et nuits animées.
L'œuvre d'Antoni Gaudí façonne l'image de la ville. La Sagrada Família s'élève au-dessus de l'Eixample, la Casa Batlló et la Casa Milà bordent l'élégant passeig de Gràcia, et les terrasses en mosaïque du parc Güell dominent les toits. Le quartier gothique conserve sa cathédrale, ses ruelles étroites et ses places cachées, et El Born ajoute le musée Picasso et l'élancée église Santa Maria del Mar.
Top-ranked sights in Barcelone: Sagrada Família, Montserrat Mountain, Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic).
