During the final chaos of the Civil War, in early 1939 more than 500,000 Spaniards were forced to cross the French border into forced and uncertain exile. Toulouse became the capital of these Spaniards in exile.

La semana pasada hicimos el tour del Exilio Español en Toulouse y nos sorprendió muy gratamente. El contenido del tour es muy interesante a la par que ameno y Adrián, el guía, estaba muy bien informado sobre el tema y ofrecía explicaciones muy interesantes y completas y además es un encanto y muy atento. Considero que es imprescindible para conocer una etapa oculta de la historia de nuestro país y conocer la historia de muchos personajes olvidados injustamente.
