At the end of 1936, several battalions of the International Brigades began arriving in Madrigueras (Albacete), where they remained for about a year and a half.
Now, a group of local witnesses recount who these Internationals were and what their lives were like among us.
The farewell words spoken by Dolores Ibárruri in October 1938 still resonate today:
“When the years go by and the wounds of war begin to heal… tell them about these men of the International Brigades.”
