Guernica Guide - Gernika Travel Essentials - Visiting Guernica, Spain
Guernica is the Basque town that was blased mercilessly during the Spanish Civil War by combined Nazi/Italian Fascist forces, killing a third of the townspeople. It was the initial test of the Nazi strategy called blitzkrieg that prompted Picasso to paint the famous work that Art historian Herbert Read called "a cry of outrage and horror amplified by a great genius."
