In 2017, 16 people were killed in two terrorist attacks on the afternoon of August 17 . A new Netflix documentary called 800 Meters (yes we know we Brits would spell it 'metres') will shed light on the sinister plots on Spanish soil.
The main attack was carried out by a 22-year-old called Younes Abouyaaqoub, who drove a van into pedestrians on La Rambla, also known as Las Ramblas, the famous and busy street in Barcelona. He went on the run for days afterwards before police eventually caught up with him and shot him dead.
The second attack took place in Cambrils, a seaside resort just down the Catalan coast from Barcelona. Again, it involved a vehicle being driven into pedestrians.
