The Catalan Way (Catalan: Via Catalana), also known as the Catalan Way towards Independence , was a 480-kilometre human chain in support of Catalan independence from Spain.
It was organized by the Assemblea Nacional Catalana (ANC), and took place in Catalonia on 11 September 2013, which is the National Day of Catalonia.
Catalonia's Department of the Interior estimated the number of participants at about 1.6 million who followed the ancient Via Augusta, from Le Perthus (France, Vallespir) up to Alcanar (Spain, Montsià). According to Carme Forcadell, president of the ANC, it was "a symbol of the unity of Catalan people to achieve national sovereignty".
Specifically in our town, Vilassar de Mar, we were involved within track 410 which was deployed into NII road which was diverted to traffic that day.
Go ahead Catalan people !!!
