History serves to avoid making the same mistakes of the past. Jesus and I stopped in Corbera de Ebro, which was on the way, to go to Tarragona. We took a half-hour break for a snack before leaving. If you look up Corbera de Ebro on the internet right now, you will see that it is a ghost town. And that's right. There's not a single soul. Literally not a soul of any living thing. Who knows if there was one within 20 kilometers of there. It's just a ruined city, the product of the fierce civil war in Spain more than 40 years ago. The few houses that were still standing, even a little destroyed, reflected a tranquillity that was experienced before the horrendously hostile moment. Light passed directly through the stone door and window frames. The floor of the streets and houses, all mud and dirt. This city is history. In a moment of talk and rest after the tour of all the vestiges of the city, this city itself taught Jesus and me, two people of opposing thoughts and ideologies, what our generation cannot afford: to walk in the same footsteps again. Thus, Corbera de Ebro has become the reminiscent of a troubled past and the starting point for a better future.
