Tour Details
We'll untangle the often overlooked history of the Spanish Civil War and the 36 year dictatorship that followed it while walking through the streets of the old town where much of the fighting and fascist bombings happened.
Your expert guide will explain the history of what lead to the outbreak of a war that divided a country and lead to a military dictatorship that ended less than 50 years ago.
Come to understand the many different political factions and ideologies that fought for what they believed was the future of Spain.
• What was the role of Hitler and Mussolini
• Who were the International Brigades
• How did the Western Allies respond to the war and to Franco's dictatorship
• What was the role of the catholic church
• How does Spain deal with this period of history now
We'll bring the complicated history to life with pictures and clear storytelling. Since there are virtually no official museums or memorials, this tour is the perfect way to learn about the Spanish Civil War.
The tour will finish after about 2.5h in the middle of the Gothic Quarter, by Barcelona city hall.
