Things to do Dark Side of BCN: Vampires, Exorcists, Slave-traders, Inquisition!

Tired of the usual? Are you curious about city stories that very few will tell you? A new, exciting, alternative route through the three iconic old barrios: El Born, El Gótico and El Raval... What’s the connection between slave trading and Gaudí? Have you heard of the Vampiress of the Raval drinking children's blood? How did the city's most celebrated 19th-century poet end up as an Exorcist? Who are the “Indianos” of Barcelona? Have you ever considered Live Entombment for a quick path to Enlightenment? Have you ever seen the most Masonic building in Barcelona? Did you know that there was an Anarchist Terror attack on Las Ramblas a century earlier than the jihadists? Do you know the story of “Eulalia”, the first "catalan" to die for her beliefs, a feminist icon? Have you visited the Raval, el barrio Chino, former home of anarchists, hookers, gangsters, and morphine addicts? And did you know that Barcelona was the last city to stop slave trading in the late 19th century? Why did God’s architect die all alone in an indigent hospital? Why did Barcelona used to be called the Manchester of Spain? Why is the Sagrada Familia an expiatory (atonement) temple?
