Democracy (1981 - 1999)

Summary The transition to democracy, by all accounts, was a success, and Spain is, once again, entering a period of democratic rule and political pluralism. However, the members of the former Franco regime were never removed from positions of power. Little surprise that Democracy opens with the staging of another military coup. Significant events include the legalization of the Catalan language, ritual celebrations and festival calendar, the passage of the Law of Linguistic Normalization, the emergence of "Café Para Todos," the terrorist bombing of the Hipercor shopping center, and the sexual liberation of "Destape." Introducing major figures Antonio Tejero and Pasqual Maragall, Democracy concludes with Barcelona's successful staging of the 1992 Summer Olympics, marking a new chapter for Barcelona, that leaves pride, opportunity, and, in many ways, a new city, in its wake.
