Arcadia Spain

Just like you cannot live in Indiana and not hear about hoops, you cannot live or study in Barcelona and not hear about FC Barcelona (there is of course another team in the city, RCD Espanyol, however their winning record is not quite the same!).

Barcelona is a city that lives, dreams and  breathes football of the best quality. Barça, as well call the team, is one of the top teams in the world and the other rival team in Spain, Real Madrid, keeps a close fight in every competition. There is a lot of rivalry in the pitch, which is only compounded by the difficult history of Spain, the political struggle Catalonia went through to maintain its identity, and the eternal competition of the two cities. Students can learn more about it in the Arcadia course 'Sport, Culture and Society: the Case of Spain' and be more... well, better informed fans! :)
