Description

This photograph shows two children posing with copies of the French newspaper L’Indépendant in front of a kiosk, somewhere on the Costa Brava between 1966 and 1977. The newspaper, with a special edition dedicated to the region, is an example of the presence and influence of the international press in the context of European tourism in Catalonia. The image reflects the coexistence between the local population and visitors, and highlights the Costa Brava as a space for cultural meeting and openness to the world. This document is part of the theme of international relations and culture, and shows how the press and tourism contributed to the European projection of Catalonia during the Franco regime and the transition.
