Refugi 307
A PROTECTIVE TUNNEL FOR THE POPULATION
This sight is a set of tunnels built underneath Barcelona during the civil war in 1937. It was initially used to provide shelter to poor migrant families. The 30-minute tour will take you through area 307’s web of tunnels, giving you an insight into bathrooms, infirmaries, and other rooms, and a better idea of how some people had to live in those days.
My Rating:
The positives:
A real contrast to the usual sights in Barcelona! Also suitable for children. The history of the Refugis is interesting and epitomizes the incisive period of the Spanish Civil War.
The negatives:
There is not much to see and the visit is short. Something for Barcelona repeat offenders.
Tip:
After visiting Refugis 307 one can take a path up to Montjuïc. A bit of wilderness in the middle of Barcelona! The path through the forest leads up to Avinguda Miramar, from where you can easily walk to Fundació Miró or take the cable car up to Castell de Montjuïc and enjoy the unique view over the whole of Barcelona.
