Hello! I'm Miguel, and I'm passionate about history. I truly enjoy telling it and sharing the inspiration that wonderful stories and epic feats provide. I used to do this from a university lecture hall, and now I do it from the actual sites of the events. I also teach yoga, but walking with you on a tour is my other kind of yoga: that of consciousness and the memory of humanity.

Tour description

Discover the places where history comes alive. This walking tour immerses you in Barcelona at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, a time of revolutionary fervor and pioneering women's struggle for emancipation.

We'll explore key sites of the Social Revolution and the Civil War, from anarchist strongholds to the places where the Autonomous Society of Women and Las Mujeres Libres challenged the established order. You'll learn the stories of activists and how their legacy lives on.

More than just a walk, it's an immersion in the struggle for a new world, where social transformation and women's liberation went hand in hand.

Points of interest include Plaza Cataluña, Las Ramblas, convents and squares in the Raval and Gothic Quarter, and the former headquarters of trade unions and feminist groups, as well as an account of their struggles.

Reserve your spot and walk through history.
