Messi somewhere in this photo (c) Hairy Monkey Pictures They say that football in most if not all Latin countries is like religion and this is certainly true for Spain.

Barcelona’s slogan for the last few years has been “Més que un club” which is Catalan for “More than (just) a club”. Although F.C. Barcelona was...

Today in the 21st century, all these places have been gobbled up by Barcelona and relegated to the status of neighbourhood. One such area in particular still resists the notion that it is no longer independent and this area is called...
