• The bourgeoisie had an ambiguous relationship with power and an unfavorable relationship with the working class. This unleashes the tragedy during the civil war and explains how much of this social group pivots from Catalanism to Francoism. The Villa Martín was a refuge for bourgeois families during the war, and witnessed tragic events related to the fascist bombing of 1939. The house disappeared, but its garden is the perfect place for Xavier Díez's talk.
