The great Malaga exodus was 70 years ago this week and still remains one of the unspoken tragedies of the civil war.
For those living close to the city then the story becomes personal if you have ever travelled along the N340 towards almeria. Its not difficult to imagine the bombings from the planes and the boats. I found the story fascinating when I first read of it. If anyone else is interested you can get a synopsis here

But i would be interested if anyone knows of other stories that were based in the south.

Have you seen the new-ish movie, El Labyrinto y la Fauna (http://www.panslabyrinth.com/)? It's really good, plus provides some very interesting insight into civil war era goings on - highly recommended. There's a Spanish film renaissance brewing....
