Transpirenaica 4x4: Ruta de los Contrabandistas (y más)

Chapter 8, Stage 7 of our Trans-Pyrenees 4x4 journey aboard Isidro, our Santana Aníbal. This stage is one of the best of the best, both for its stunning scenery and the history behind it. We'll be focusing on Tor and the events of its recent dark history... after this video, if you're not already familiar with this story, you'll devour everything about Josep Montané, "Sansa," Jordi Riba, "El Palanca," and all the other figures who revolved around them. A visit to Casa Sisqueta is highly recommended, both for lunch and to meet its owner, Pilar, a wonderful woman with countless local stories that you won't be able to resist. The next highlight is the Virós Forest track... it's one of those places where you'll have an absolute blast in a 4x4, but remember to always respect local regulations. And finally, the climb to the Tavascán Pass... a pass whose crossing into France can only be made on foot, and through which many of those affected by the Civil War tried to save their lives in conditions far removed from those we might have today. ***** Tor book in Spanish: "The Fire That Never Goes Out" https://amzn.to/3MwGRXG Book about the Jews murdered crossing the Pyrenees: "The Andorran" https://amzn.to/46aCSqv Tor series in Spanish: Chapter 1:    • 🔱Tor  (Cap.1- Un cadáver en Tor)   Chapter 2:    • 🔱Tor (Cap.2 - Los hippies de Tor)   Chapter 3:    • 🔱Tor (Cap.3 - Palanca)   Chapter 4:    • 🔱Tor (Cap.4 - Los Sansa)   Chapter 5:    • 🔱Tor (Cap.5 - Rubén y los ingleses)   Chapter 6:    • 🔱Tor (Cap.6 - La fecha de la muerte)   Chapter 7:    • 🔱Tor (Cap.7 - Los contrabandistas)   Chapter 8:    • 🔱Tor (Cap.8 - El fuego que no se apaga)
