EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic moment in 1908 when the 9,000 residents of the Spanish town of Bejar made the decision to emigrate to South America. The gateway of this ancient town, located in the province of Cáceres, stands proudly in the image, serving as a poignant reminder of the journey that lay ahead for its inhabitants. At the turn of the 20th century, Bejar was a town in transition. With the rise of industrialization, many of its people were drawn to the promise of employment in the spinning-mills of Uruguay and Nicaragua. The prospect of work in these foreign lands was too great to ignore, and so, a mass exodus was planned. The image shows the determination and resolve of the people of Bejar as they prepared to embark on this new chapter in their lives. The gateway, with its intricate carvings and timeworn stones, serves as a symbol of the town's rich history and the traditions that the emigrants were leaving behind. The journey to South America was long and arduous, with many challenges and hardships along the way. But for the people of Bejar, the hope of a better future and the prospect of work in the spinning-mills was worth the risk. This photograph is a testament to their courage and resilience, and a reminder of the human spirit's ability to adapt and thrive in the face of adversity. Today, the gateway of Bejar stands as a reminder of this historic event in Spanish history, a moment when a small town's population decided to travel thousands of miles to build new lives in a foreign land. The photograph, with its haunting beauty and evocative imagery, invites us to reflect on the human experience and the enduring power of hope and determination.
