Historic information
The Passatge del Crèdit was built between 1875 and 1879, on the former site of the Convent de l’Esperança, under the supervision of the architect Magí Rius i Mulet. It takes its name from the Societat Catalana General del Crèdit, the building society which funded the houses along the passage. The monumental ensemble is characterised by the use of decorative wrought-ironwork, one of the major urban-planning innovations in the latter part of the 19th century. The artist Joan Miró was born at number 4 in 1893, which is now the site of the Hotel Rialto. The room where Miró was born – now room 330 of the hotel – is commemorated with a plaque.
In order to know the zone better
Tibidabo is located in a superb natural setting, the Parc de Collserola, which is perfect for hiking. In addition to the amusement park, the other major attraction on Tibidabo is the Telecommunications Tower, located on a part of the hill known as the Pic de la Vilana. The tower was designed by the British architect, Norman Foster, and the Spanish engineers, Julio Martínez Calzón and Manuel Julià Vilardell. It stands 288 metres tall and was opened to broadcast the 1992 Olympic Games around the world. It has become one of the icons of contemporary Barcelona and can be seen from all over the city and the county.
Another unusual building on the side of Tibidabo is the Fabra Observatory, which belongs to the Reial Acadèmia de Ciències i Arts de Barcelona. The observatory, with its distinctive dome, can be seen from all over the city and is involved in astronomical research and the gathering of meteorological data.

Scene description
Salvador (Puig Antich)

Passatge del Crèdit: This street is featured in a number of sequences in the film. It represents the street where the Puig Antich family lived. Narrow-angle, overhead shots make it hard to identify but we can see the typical paving and the roof overlooking the Baixada de Sant Miquel. The street is where we first see Ignasi Solé and Xavier Garriga, Salvador’s MIL colleagues, in the film.

Did you know that...
The Puig Antich family actually lived in the Pas de l’Ensenyança, near the Passatge del Crèdit, next to the Plaça Sant Jaume. Salvador lived with his parents, his elder brother Joaquim and four sisters Imma, Montse, Carme and Merçona, who played such an important role in the story of his life, even after he had died. Although the Pas de l’Ensenyança doesn’t appear in the film, it was used to store filming equipment. Other nearby locations featured in the film are the Plaça Sant Miquel and Carrer de la Baixada de Sant Miquel.
