Miravet was scenario of important battles during the Spanish Civil War. Still there are parts of the town which were never recovered. We take this initial point to make a reflection of the meaning of a Civil War, in particular the Spanish one.

« I would recommend participating in a workcamp, especially with VAP, who ensured that I found a project to suit me and provided essential training for me in preparation for my trip. Being part of a workcamp really is a life-changing experience, oh, and it looks great on your CV! »
