The Catalan Way (Catalan: Via Catalana), also known as The Catalan Road to Independence (Catalan: Via Catalana cap a la Independència), was a 400-kilometre (250 mi) human chain in support of the Catalan independence. It was organized by the Assemblea Nacional Catalana (ANC), and took place in Catalonia on 11 September 2013, which is the National Day of Catalonia.
Catalonia's Department of the Interior estimated the number of participants at about 1.6 million. The protest was supported by 14 nongovernmental groups. The human chain followed the ancient Via Augusta, from El Pertús (Vallespir) up to Alcanar (Montsià). According to Carme Forcadell, president of the ANC, it was "a symbol of the unity of Catalan people to achieve national sovereignty".
Inspired by the 1989 Baltic Way, plans for the Catalan Way were presented for the first time on 19 June 2013, at the Museu d'Història de Catalunya. The presentation included Henn Karits and Ülo Laanoja, two members of the organization which staged the Baltic Way.
Three weeks before the event, more than 350,000 people had already registered to participate. In total, the organizers mobilized about 1,500 buses and 30,000 volunteers to help organize the event.
