Hi John,
Carlos Pascoal is showing a new book -writen in Catalan- that tells the history of one of our oldest Casinos in Barcelona -Casino de la Arrabassada-. Opened in 1911, July 19th. and was alive only one year. The Barcelona's Governor shot it down on 1912 as he prohibited gambling in the city. There were around 5 more casinos in Barcelona that also were closed.
