Repost: Colm Tóibín on the Crisis in Catalonia

Colm Tóibín first went to Barcelona in 1975 as a 20-year-old (two months before the death of General Franco). He stayed for three years, working as a teacher and returned many times over the years, writing about his love affair with the region in his book 'Homage to Barcelona'. In this episode, originally recorded in 2017, he joins Eamon to give an insight into the current situation in the region. The Stand is proudly produced in partnership with Tesco Finest.
