Spain - Portbou Former Border

An abandoned customs and internacional transport company building is seen through a fence in Portbou on 3rd september, 2015, Spain. Portbou (North Catalonia) is the last Spanish seaside town before the border with France. Currently has a population of 1,200 inhabitants and mainly economic activity is tourism. Had his years of splendor around 1930, with about 4,000 inhabitants and numerous businesses dedicated to transportation and customs. After the Spanish Civil War (1939) by Portbou and roads passed more than 350 thousand people en route to exile. Its imposing train station (the last before the town of Cerbere-France) lost importance with the opening of land transport by the point of La Jonquera. In 1993, the creation of the European Union and the subsequent Schengen Agreement definitively invalidated the border. (Photo by Jordi Boixareu/NurPhoto) (Photo by NurPhoto/NurPhoto via Getty Images)
