George Orwell's trenches in the Spanish Civil War!

Date: 2021-07-22

I visit the famous George Orwell Route (Ruta Orwell) in Alcubierre, Spain just outside of Huesca, where George Orwell fought in the Spanish Civil War and wrote about it his famous book, Homage to Catalonia.  Homage to Catalonia is a must read if you are visiting Barcelona.  In it, you learn a lot about George Orwell's experience during the Spanish Civil War and his impressions about Barcelona.

George Orwell came to Spain to fight against facism and ended up fighting in the POUM, and was sent out to the front in Aragón.  The Georeg Orwell Route is just one of the places where he was stationed and fought during the Civil War.  It has been reconstructed for touristic visits.
