All is changing and the way to read books too. What I want to say is that in a novel you can find a lot of characters with ordinary personalities, others could be stereotypes and not ever but sometimes you can find out that the main character is a city, while you are reading you feel that without it the story should be another one. Well, I explain all of this to speak about a novel that I loved when I read: The Wind Shadow by Carlos Ruiz Zafón where Barcelona is one of these characters. The plot of the novel happens in Barcelona during the forty years. The streets that appears in the book are nowadays well known by us.
In one hand I write about this because if you want you can walk by this Barcelona of forty (with a few of imagination) and visit the same places where the characters had been there. There are a tourist company which organise this kind of visit with an incredible tourist guide who read some parts of the book that gets you move on the story.
And in the other hand I want to encourage everybody who really love read to read this amazing novel and to make this original visit of Barcelona. I'm sure that all the people that have been made the route besides of enjoy it very much they have been learn a lot of new things about the old city center of Barcelona.
