Episode notes
In this episode, I begin with a rant on low-level Spanish corruption as a foreigner hoping to get an appointment with the Office of Foreign Affairs. Afterwards, I recount a hike on Mount Ezkaba to visit Fort San Cristóbal and the realization that this fort was in fact a political prison and the epicenter of the Great Escape in 1938. I detail the developing and outcome of the Great Escape and reflect on how Spaniards reflect on such a dark moment in their history.
