Esplugües de Llobregat
Esplugües de Llobregat is a municipality located in southern Barcelona. It houses many
historical landmarks such as the palace of Can Cortada, home of famous Catalan author, Baron
Malda, as well as Can Cargol, the home of Xavier Corberó, a famous Catalan artist and good
friend of Robert Hughes. In his book Barcelona: The Great Enchantress, Hughes wrote of the
winding catacombs underneath Can Cargol and the entirety of Esplugües de Llobregat (2004: 5) ,
which had been dug for both storage and defense during the times of Roman control over the
region. Robert Hughes suggested that these caves, which were reminiscent of “the secret
labyrinth of a snail shell,” might have been the inspiration for the borough’s name which
translates to House of the Snail. While there, Hughes found an old printing press in one of the
catacombs’ storage rooms and thought it to be used by radicals during the 17th century to
produce Anti-Carlist texts (2004: 5).
Oliver Hochadel and Agustí Nieto-Galan discussed Eduardo Mendoza’s novel, The City of
Marvels, in which the main character is introduced distributing “anarchist pamphlets to (the)
workers” of Barcelona (2016: 1). This theme of demonstrating political activism can be seen
throughout the entirety of Barcelona’s history. An example is the Setmana Tràgica or tragic
week outlined in a book chapter by Teresa Vilarós. Tragic week is the name for the weeks of July
25 to August 2, 1909 in which there were a number of conflicts between the working class of
Barcelona and the Spanish Army (Vilarós 1995: 41). According to Hochadel and Nieto-Galan,
many historians view Barcelona as the “world capital of anarchism” as it serves as a strong
component of Catalan culture and can be found throughout the city’s history, even in regions as
small as Esplugües de Llobregat (2016: 3).
