    Exploring the streets of Barcelona in Spain during this walking tour offered a fascinating glimpse into the city’s complex history. We were particularly moved by the stories of everyday people who lived through the Spanish Civil War, and our guide skillfully wove together personal anecdotes and historical facts that kept us engaged. As we strolled from one significant landmark to another, we appreciated the comfortable pace and the opportunity to stop and take in the surroundings. The only suggestion we have would be to include a bit more time for questions at the end, as there was so much to discuss. Overall, it was a memorable experience that deepened our understanding of the impact of dictatorship and war on this vibrant city.

    We had an eye-opening experience delving into the Spanish Civil War and the dictatorship’s impact on the city. Walking through the less-traveled streets, a standout moment was when our guide shared personal stories of those who lived through that turbulent time, making history feel incredibly real. One suggestion would be to allow a little more time for questions at the end, as we had so much to discuss after such an informative tour.
