This guide take us to places in the city of Barcelona that have or have had some connection with the Germanic and Benelux countries, that is, Germany, Austria, The Netherlands, Luxemburg, Belgium and Switzerland. The different routes that it maps out enable us to retrace the presence of the Visigoths and the Franks in the city, the close ties between the origins of Catalonia and the Carolingian Empire, and to relive the support Barcelona gave to the cause of Archduke Charles of Austria in the War of Succession. We will also witness the contributions to the industrialisation and commerce of the city of the Swiss, Germans, Belgians and Austrians who made their home here. Finally, the book takes us up to date, with a look at the significant economic investments of these countries in Barcelona.
