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.

An excellent tour if you wish sincerely to understand not only the city's history, but the people who live therein.

I don't normally like tours. The forced walking and irksome tour guides tend to turn me off. A friend was keen so I went along and I've got to say, I was very impressed! Had a great time and really enjoyed the experience. The guide, Bryan was a lovely Scottish man who kept things far from dull! I think I may have changed my attitude about these type of tours. Bravo!

At the end of last summer we did this great tour. For us was very difficult to understand about the Catalan independence and with this tour now we totally get it.
The places we saw were really nice and helped to understand the city and the political situation.
