Travelled in couple - May 2022

The tour was in fact a statement about the change in Spanish culture from General Franco's rule to a state of democracy. The people who drove the social experiment and empowered the change. Very interesting. It also provided info on 4 places we subsequently visited separately which we probably wouldn't have without this tour. Excellent, thanks Charlie.
