The Spanish Civil War was the precursor to WWII. On this tour you will come to understand this
\nincredibly important and complicated conflict that led to a 36 year dictatorship and would change Spain
\nforever.
\nBarcelona was one of the major centres of resistance against the rise of fascism and suffered greatly for
\nit. It’s where George Orwell arrived as he joined the International Brigade and he wrote “Homage to
\nCatalonia” about his time here.
\nWe’ll see scars and damage from the aerial bombings, neighborhoods that were hotbeds for popular
\nuprisings and resistance, places that George Orwell describes in his book and historic photos from this
\nperiod.
\nWe’ll talk about what causes lead to the war, make sense of the many different groups fighting with and
\nagainst each other, how the war ended and what living under Franco’s dictatorship was like.
\nBy the end of this tour you’ll understand why the sunny beach town of Gaud\u00ed and Picasso was once
\nknown as one of the most violent and turbulent cities in Europe.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
