The Mystical North

Summary The largely mountainous, poorly penetrable northern regions of Spain, notably Catalonia and the Basuqe country, aspire greater autonomy and artistic identity, often by embracing or even taking the lead in in modernity. Furthermore, being the main bloody battle ground in grim periods of (civil) war and Franco's oppressive regime leave visible traces. That goes for most famous painter Pablo Picasso, but even more for architects, notably Miro, and integrated building-art, pinnacling in Gaudi's oeuvre.
