Places to visit

Barcelona has been used as the setting for many films, many of which recount the story of Spanish figures who have emerged through history. One of these which had great success was 'Salvador'; the flim based on the life of Salvador Puig Antich, a young arnarchist who was part of MIL. He spent his whole life fighting for freedom even though he was acutely aware of the repercussions of his actions. This made him a hero among his peers and a symbo of an entire generation. His fate was not unexpected and he was executed under the Francoist regime for killing a police officer.
