In this tour we are going to get to know one of the most complicated periods in the recent history of Spain and the city of Alcoy.
We will find out how the civil war (1936-1939) came to the city and why it was bombed up to 7 times.

I will only tell you that that time marked a before and after in the Alcoy that we know today.
