Abstract: This text exposes the experience of the first guided tour in Barcelona specifically addressed to explain the connections of the city with an awkward past unknown by many locals and visitors: the role of slave traders in the development of the city. The aim of this tour is showing the traces left by the slave trade and colonial fortunes in Barcelona, such as distinguished buildings, monuments and street names. Ultimately, the tour aims to contribute to the process of public recognition of those groups affected by slavery in the past.
