Description

Between the end of January and the beginning of February 1939, hundreds of thousands of people fled the advance of Franco’s troops through the Camprodon valley towards the French border. The abandonment of vehicles and weapons on the sides of the road was a constant during those days, as captured by the photographer Antoni Gallardo i Garriga a few months after the end of the Spanish Civil War.
