The double border. Portbou in the lead years of World War II

We will find ourselves in Portbou, a border town that was the exit route for many Republicans at the end of the Civil War, and a few months later it was also one of the main entry routes for many Jews and resistant anti-fascists fleeing the Nazi horror. We will visit the cemetery, the monument "Passages" by Dani Karavan, dedicated to the memory of Walter Benjamin, and we will go up to the Coll de Belitres.

The planned schedule of the activity is half day (from 10 am to 2.30 pm) and the meeting point is the MUME, except for the departure from Portbou.

Prior registration is required and the activity is subject to a minimum of 10 participants. Places are limited to 25 people.

Travel is made in the participant's own transport and lunch is not included.

Les fortificacions de Franco. Coneix els búnquers de la Jonquera

Després d'una visita al Museu Memorial de l'Exili, descobrirem que a La Jonquera hi ha diverses construccions i obres militars amagades entre el paisatge. Assentaments de metralladores i de cànons antitancs preparats per frenar una invasió militar externa durant la dècada dels anys quaranta. Entrarem en un búnquer i caminarem per la seva trinxera!
