La Estelada Blava (blue) Traveling around you will quickly notice that this is the most common of the Barcelona flags. It is the symbol of the separatist movement in Catalonia and represents their desire to gain independence from the rest of Spain. Although the blue triangle and white star are said to be inspired by the Cuban flag, Catalonia’s independence movement dates back to the War of the Spanish Succession when Catalonia lost much of its autonomy and rights.
