Drapeau catalan côtoyant celui de la CEE sur la façade d'un immeuble cossu de l'Eixample. Le message à Madrid est limpide: la Catalogne est assez riche pour s'élever au rang des nations en Europe. (Contrairement au Québec, la Catalogne ne détient pas de pouvoir de taxation, de sorte qu'elle assiste impuissante, depuis le début de la crise économique qui frappe l'Espagne, au détournement d'une partie de sa richesse vers Madrid.)
An amazing opportunity to acquire a penthouse with over 70m² of terraces and 2 parking spaces right in the heart of Barcelona city centre. For more information: Barcelona Luxury Apartment LFS4363 .

Ictineo
The submarine was originally constructed in 1862 from the plans of Narcis Monturiol I Estarriol (1819 -1886), and that the original Ictineo II actually navigated the waters in the Port of Barcelona. The Ictineo II was the first vehicle of its time to submerge and navigate below the surface of the sea, the first “real” submarine.
Constructed on a smaller scale than the Ictineo II, the Ictineo underwent a successful launch and testing in 1859 but then was smashed by a freighter as it was sitting at the dock. Eventually, Monturiol was able to arrange funding for a second, larger Ictineo. When completed, Ictineo II was a two-walled submarine, outfitted with a steam-driven engine able to operate under water. The Ictineo One was operated by man power.
