Madrid history: fascist/Monarchist.
Catalunya/Barcelona history: anarchist/Republican.
It's a no-brainer who to support.

Fuck off.
Spanish is one of the official languages of the place, they should speak to you in it. About 50% of the population dont speak Catalan.
The catalans have no bollocks, if they did they'd do what the basques did, fucking fight for it. As usual it comes down to $ with them, must be the french in them.

Example: the motorways in Spain are free. In Cataluyna (and Madrid) people have to pay. General things like this are pissing the people off. Why work harder and pay more taxes than someone who lives in another region?
Also ---- I am certainly no genius at this. Please don't take my word for truth.. I am just repeating what I hear on the streets. It is best to ask someone who is catalan. thanks.

I dont think technically its ever existed as country.
The Romans had it, then the Visigoths, then the French, Kingdom of Aragon then Spain.
and you do have to pay for 'toll' motorways all over Spain, or are you talking some sort of congestion charge, like they have in London?
