The route \u2018From the Pyrenees to the Sea\u2019 takes us through the same territory where the Republican exodus took place. We will be following the steps of the escape routes of the exiles and see the most relevant landmarks of that historical event.<\/p>\n

Below is a guide of the places that hold the memories of the exiles from February 1939 in the Pyrenees of Girona and Northern Catalonia, stage by stage, in the order in which we will come across them along our route.<\/p>\n
