Literary Tours through Orwell’s Barcelona

Few texts have the intensity of Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia, a work that has stood the test of time for generations as an exceptional account of the anarcho-syndicalist social revolution in Barcelona. The Dia Orwell collective offers guided tours of the key places that appear in Orwell’s chronicle, led by professionals from a variety of fields who share a passion for this historical period.

The session “Orwell in Aragon” (Tuesday 18 June at the CCCB) is a complement to the tours through Barcelona and, through images and recordings, will let participants follow Orwell’s route through the region.

Duration: 2 hours. Free of charge. The starting point for the tours will be the Canaletes fountain.
*Registration is mandatory, and places are limited. The organization reserves the right to cancel any group if there are not enough participants.
