The Pyrenees with Michael Portillo

Details

For the final leg, Michael is back in the Catalonian Pyrenees for a deeply personal journey. In 1939, his father Luis Gabriel Portillo Perez fled through these mountains as a political refugee from the Spanish Civil War. At the tiny village of La Vajol, where many refugees headed to cross the border into France, Michael meets Margaret, some of whose family escaped through here.
