@spaincivilwartours.bsky.socialMy book "Travels through the Spanish Civil War" published by @hurstpublishers.bsky.social 7 years to write. Starts in Barcelona's Plaça Catalunya, ends Austria. Takes the reader to Aragón with Orwell's son. War traveling through today's landscapes, scars of violence still there, how war remembered
@spaincivilwartours.bsky.socialAh, makes sense, thanks!
@spaincivilwartours.bsky.socialThis is rather cool. Shared with me by Gil Cividanes who writes "The photo taken in front of a [Francoist] Spanish grocery on West 14th Street, NYC in about 1937. The girl on left is my aunt Zazi aged 18-19, the woman to her right is my grandmother's friend Doña Francisca." Don't buy fascist goods.

@spaincivilwartours.bsky.socialPoster for the 18th edition of the "Volta a Catalunya" held from 13-21 June 1936, one month before the start of the Spanish Civil War. The race was won by Mariano Cañardo. Cycling was at the time among the most popular sports by spectators in Catalonia after football and boxing.

@spaincivilwartours.bsky.socialA young Montpellier snake on Montjuïc emerging from the castle walls by Lucy Brzoska. I've yet to spot one here, but it's always nice to know Europe's largest snake, feisty too, might be watching us as we walk by, still living in the heart of Barcelona. iberianature.com
@spaincivilwartours.bsky.socialBarcelona metro stopped for a minute today in respect to the family of Maricarmen Abascal who, as the screen explained, died this week aged 87 after being evicted from her Madrid home - where she'd lived since 1956-, sparking the wave of housing protests across Spain.
