 On January 24, Garcia Valiño occupied Manresa, and on January 25 the Nationalist vanguard occupied the Tibidabo in the outskirts of Barcelona.The Nationalists finally occupied Barcelona on January 26, and there were five days of looting by the Yagüe's "Regulares" and extrajudicial killings ("paseos").After the occupation of Barcelona, the Nationalist troops, tired from the long marches, slowed their advance but soon resumed their offensive, pursuing the retreating columns of Republican soldiers and civilians.
