Venture beyond the sun-drenched postcards of Barcelona and into its rebellious heart. This tour uncovers the story of the 'okupa' movement—a decades-long struggle for space, dignity, and the very soul of the city. Guided by an academic and a local expert, you'll witness sites of fierce resistance, groundbreaking community projects, and the ghosts of lost battles. This isn't just a tour about squatting; it's a journey into an alternative vision of urban life, asking a profound question: who has the right to the city?
