Guernica
Guernica is a Basque town known for its Monday market day which has for decades been considered as a holiday in the town. Airborne bombing by the German Condor Legion in support of Spanish fascists in 1937 destroyed much of Guernica's old town, but several parts were spared and many were rebuilt.| Tap on a place to explore it |
