Visiting the Camp Nou on a Spain Gap Year
They say that football in most if not all Latin countries is like religion and this is certainly true for Spain. That may have to do partially with the beauty of the game itself but it is definitely boosted by the tribal affiliations that divide and unite Spain.
F.C. Barcelona's slogan for the last few years has been "Més que un club" which is Catalan for "More than (just) a club". Although F.C. Barcelona was founded by a Swiss gentleman (Joan Gamper) in 1899 and uses the English words Football Club, it has become a symbol of Catalan identity and a business card for Catalonia to the world. There are many reasons why the club gained such a status but one of the main reasons is that during the Franco years, the Camp Nou stadium was one of the few places where people felt they could freely speak Catalan.
