Ghosts of Barcelona haunt Ruiz Zafon’s walk through Gothic quarter
Author Carlos Ruiz Zafon strolls Barcelona's Gothic quarter, describing Plaza de San Felipe Neri as a quiet spot scarred by Civil War gunfire. He says the city feels haunted and mysterious, with Barcelona itself almost another character in his novel The Shadow of the Wind. He notes his move to Los Angeles for work but keeps his heart in Barcelona.
