1936-2015 Refugees. Siege of Madrid, Spanish Civil War / Refugiados. Guerra civil, calle de Sagasta, Madrid.

            Refugees fleeing the neighbourhoods closest to the front of the battle, west of Madrid. 
Autumn 1936 and autumn 2015. Sagasta street.

When Madrid was attacked by Franco forces in autumn 1936, many of the city's inhabitants fled to safety. By the end of November over 250,000, about one-fifth of the city's total population, had relocated themselves to safer zones in Valencia and Barcelona. When the fighting stabilized in December in Madrid suburbs this spontaneous and voluntary emigration slowed dramatically.
