Guindalera

History

The Spanish Civil War started in Madrid in July 1936. Following its start, Consuelo Berges Rabago was charged with running an orphanage in the barrio. The orphanage had been abandoned by the nuns who previously ran it. Berges, working with a team of volunteers, successfully managed to organize an evacuation of children, getting them away from the bombing in the city to Granollers in Catalonia.
