Barcelona was a key center of conflict during the Spanish Civil War, marked by battles between Fascists, Anarchists, and supporters of the democratic Spanish Republic. This 2.5-hour walking tour leads through the city’s Old Town to uncover how these groups fought and the events that led to Francisco Franco's 36-year dictatorship. The tour begins at Placa Catalunya, a significant location during the war, then continues along La Rambla to visit several Civil War-related sites. It includes stops at the 15th-century El antiguo Hospital de la Santa Creu and the Basilica de Santa Maria del Pi, an old church with ties to the conflict. The final stop is Placa Sant Felip Neri, a place that still shows the physical impact of the war. An expert guide explains the causes of the war, the factions involved, and how Franco maintained power. The narrative covers Barcelona's unique role as an Anarchist stronghold and describes life under Franco’s regime. Throughout the walk, participants see historical images and traces of the war that remain visible in the city.
