Porta de la Historia's blog

A website for those who wish to explore the Spanish Civil War…..

30/11/19. Updating the Blog!

After an overlong hiatus in trying to keep this Blog active, I have at last updated the old format with a silent promise to keep readers updated on this Blog rather than Facebook as Porta de la Historia or XV Brigada Mixta aswell as adding news and events to the International Brigades Remembered Facebook page (please feel free to look them up!).

Of course, this new format will take some time to get used to and I will have to work out how to make it in a similar way to the old design.

In the meantime, please realise that I am still very active in the SCW World and that I will try and discipline myself in adding news at least once a week!

For now, as I upload photos from Facebook, here is a shot of me doing some filmwork at La Fatarella a few years ago. Now that I have a town house on the Ebro (but also living near Madrid), I can use the house as a base for clients to explore not just the Ebro battlefield, but also the Aragon Front. I am very lucky and privileged to be able to do this, and whilst I am fit and healthy I am happy to clamber up and down hills to show people the surviving evidence of the battles that took place, supported by accounts and photographs. And it never ends!
