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
