LEAVING HOME



I was a young man when I had to leave my home, my country, and my family. The war made our lives very difficult, and then I decided to go to America. I remember families crying on the harbour, kids saying goodbye to their fathers and mothers. And then I met a young photographer from Vilano Cape, Manuel Ferrol, who later became very famous, precisely because of his photographs of emigration. You can visit his web page clicking HERE. You will read the texts in Galician, Spanish and even in English, but the most surprising material is on the black and white pictures. Amazing!!
