Map of Gràcia

Gràcia has periodically risen in armed rebellion against city, state, and country, Gràcia is a jumble of streets with names (Llibertat, Fraternitat, Progrès, Venus) that suggest the ideological history of this fierce little nucleus of working-class citizens and sentiment. Once an outlying town that joined the municipality of Barcelona only under duress, Gràcia attempted to secede from the Spanish state in 1856, 1870, 1873, and 1909.
