SWAPCAST - This episode was recorded in the lobby of the hotel in Barcelona and went deep into the night as I chatted with Alvaro Garza, a Texan who is living in Barcelona and operating a tour company as well as his new podcast Uncommon Tourist! We chatted about Catalonia, Spanish History, local politics and loads more really interesting stuff like Catalonia leaving Spain and the police brutality during the 2017 referendum.You can find Alvaro on Spreaker here (https://www.spreaker.com/show/uncommon-tourist) or on all the social media as @uncommontourist or click here (https://twitter.com/uncommontourist) to find him on Twitter.
