Antonio Machado died in exile in Northern Catalonia

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.
