Right on the border between Spain and France is an unassuming yet moving memorial to the heartbreak of exile. We read it, walked it - you walk down steps to a glass wall that gives you a view of what "flee-ers" would have seen and then visited the cemetery - wide open to all - nearby.
2. Exile Memorial
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 13 reviews
A memorial dedicated to those who between January and February 1939 crossed the border into France fleeing the terror of Francoism. Monoliths and stands installed at this point give information and show images of the exiled population. This point also provides magnificent views of the coastline.
