Cerdà’s plan, which was approved in 1859. But the engineer’s technical and health concerns led him to for- mulate other less visible elements that were to take place beneath the city. At present, new needs and an improved technical capacity have allowed us to extend the use of the subsurface and begin some major works of decisive importance for the future, such as rainwater cisterns, rail transport and electricity and telecommunications networks.

BARCELONA PANORAMA: ON THE EDGE OF THE CERDÀ PLAN Cerdà wanted his plan for the expansion of Barcelona to be unbounded, but it was still subject to certain boundaries arising from the natural topography of the area, which is characterized by gullies and torrents and by the ﬁ rst foothills of the Collserola mountain range. These are the edges of the metropolis planned by Cerdà. This itinerary offered an overview of the Eixample as a whole, from the hills of Barcelona, which are exceptional lookouts located very close to the city centre, some transformed into parks and others left as green areas.

LLOBREGAT: NEW METROPOLITAN AXIS The Llobregat continues to be an essential river for the whole territory that it crosses, because of the urban fabric that surrounds it, the delta that it generates, and the economy that moves around it. This can be seen by the fact that much of the water used by Barcelona and its metropolitan area for food and personal hygiene still comes from the Llobregat. But our visit to the river, from Sant Joan Despí until it reaches El Prat, had a broader intention: to analyze the Llobregat’s role as a core element that plays an essential role in the geographical and economic organization of this part of the city.

Since the ﬁ rst seminar on The Palestine Question organized by the Alfonso Comín Foundation in April 1991, we made a commitment to monitor this conﬂ ict closely and gain the maximum possible insight into the situation and its origin, conscious that it was an expression of our solidarity with the Palestine cause, because we can’t forget that one side is occupied, and the other is occupying. The following issues were looked at: An Unpunished Slaughter; Living in Gaza; Islamism, Isolation and Blockade; and Violation of Human Rights, the Guilty Silence. The participants were Joan Roura, journalist specializing in the Middle East and Televisió de FRIENDS Catalunya’s special correspondent in Gaza; Zeinab Al Ghonaimi, lawyer, executive director of the Center for Women’s Legal Research and Consulting (CWLRC); and OF THE CCCB Donatella Rovera, head of Amnisty International for the Middle East.
