85
years ago

22 February 1939,

Antonio Machado died on his way to exile in Northern Catalonia. The Andalusian poet crossed the border with his mother, brother, sister-in-law and a friend, about to reach the Francoist victory. He was in poor health and worsened by the leak. He was one of the most significant poets of the 1898 generation, a convinced socialist and symbol of the Republican exiles.
