This is a wonderful collection of old photos. Although many of the photos are very personal to the people who posted them I still found many incredibly moving and a real insight into Spain past.

I'd be interested to know what you think about this collection. Maybe you recognise some of the places pictured.

The comments are worth reading from Spaniards who recognise the places and sometimes the people!

Welcome back, pleased you had a good time in Ibiza and looking forward to the podcast!

Tu Pueblo en Internet looks good too.

I really like the people photos. Two caught our eye last night.

This one from 1935 (there is a map on the wall behind the girls):

Again, same year with the caption which is funny, "Mi padre es el gordito de jersey a rayas":

To think these people now are probably in their late 70s or early 80s and at the time the photos were taken there was a year to go until the civil war.
