	- Pep Bou
		To Pep Bou it is placed side by side, in first part of the show, mathematician Michele Emmer, craftsman of the conference-show "the soap bubbles between art and science", that happening in edition 2003 of the Festival has collected large.
		Catalan theatre magician PEP BOU stepped on a stage as a professional in the second half of the 70 ́s as part of movement of mimes and actors that characterised this period.
		Pep Bou was member and founder of several companies as 'Pa de Ral' or 'La Viu Viu Teatre', but in 1982 he decides to go a step further and starts to work with soap bubbles.

	Embassy of the United States, Rabat, Morocco
		The UNODC report warned that this agricultural monoculture represents an extreme danger to the ecosystem, as the extensive use of fertilizers and forest removal continue to be the methods of choice to make room for cannabis cultivation.
		The primary ports of export for Moroccan cannabis are Oued Lalou, Martil and Bou Ahmed on the Mediterranean coast.
		According to the UNODC, Spain still accounts for the worldâs largest portion of cannabis resin seizures (57 percent of global seizures and 75 percent of European seizures in 2001).

	Girona/Gerona
		The other side of this particular mountain held a neat little bay and the small town of Port Bou, a pretty but not particularly appealing place that seemed to exist mostly off the trade from French tourists and shoppers.
		The scenery was great for the first stretch out of Port Bou; off to the north you could actually see a Pyrenee or two, though they didn't amount to much this close to the coast.
		It was cloudy but it wasn't raining, which was a relief; the rain in Spain could damn well stay on the plain until I was out of there.

		I got that impression as early as Port Bou, where we had to spend six hours waiting for the Barcelona train.
		I suspect their present function is nearer the purpose of a religion based by its founder on the love of God and the Neighbour.
		In Ireland, as in Spain, it was the priests who started methods of fire and sword against the people, yet they complain bitterly when their own weapons are turned against themselves.

	France And Spain By Train: Like Drinking Café Olé ~ By Maxine Schur
		I found the France ’n Spain Railpass particularly ideal for those regions in Spain and France that share the same culture and even language, such as Catalonia.
		The France ‘n Spain Railpass can be combined with a car rental car to reach the places not on the rail line.
		As the France ‘n Spain Railpass is so flexible, I could just as easily have ventured south to Madrid, east to Provence and the Riviera or north to Paris.

	THE UNDERGROUND RAILWAY TO SPAIN
		The main highway has a big chain across it where France meets Spain, but the Spanish border is so cut that a portion of the sidewalk on the left side of the road is Spanish while the road itself and the other sidewalk is French.
		Soon I was in intimate conversation with the cafe owners and hangers on and with the soldiers and officers of the army and the members of the International Control Commission watching all.
		Lucky for me, too, that the guards on the Spanish side had not been changed but, pending the outcome of the struggle of which I was to be a part and which cost the lives of over 1400 persons, the guard was willing to let all go through.

	Walter Benjamin's Grave by Michael Taussig, an excerpt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The thought crosses my mind as I read the papers in the train heading north to Port Bou with their front-page news of Israeli soldiers with their armored bulldozers and Apache helicopters invading Palestinian towns and refugee camps in response to suicide bombers.
		Truth itself lies on trial, and it is the border that defines and redefines it as I slowly travel north from Barcelona, north to the border at Port Bou in the local train that stops at all stops to let me down where Benjamin was stopped sixty years ago.
		He approached a middle-aged woman and in his gesticulations seemed to be asking her when the train to the border would come and whether the approaching train was the one he needed.

	Hatred at One End, Rejection at the Other
		On his walk to Spain, Benjamin carried a heavy briefcase containing, he told his companions, a new manuscript more important to him than his life, and it was part of what made the walk so arduous for him that he had to stop one minute out of 10 to catch his breath.
		There is a steep ascent to the plateau between Banyuls and the slopes east of Cerberes, during which the route points due south then rises to loop around the ridgeline that is also the international border.
		Though the nature of his death is unresolved — it may have been from a cerebral hemorrhage, an accidental overdose of his heart medicine or suicide — it is certain that Benjamin died in Port Bou, in a hotel that no longer exists, on Sept. 26, 1940, at the age of 48.

		All other trains stop at Irun or at Port Bou, where the passenger must get off the French train and climb aboard a Spanish one.
		The recent moves to extend the French TGV to Barcelona have required the construction of an entirely new railway line, leaving the older broader gauge intact.
		George Sassoon forwards this comment from a railroad expert: I think Spain and the USSR operate 5' 3" gauge, not the 7' broad gauge of M. Brunel.

		Today's painless border crossing would, however, have seemed an impossible dream in 1940, in a Europe ravaged by war and fascism, a Spain only beginning to recover from its own civil war, and a captive Catalonia licking its wounds, its language and culture pulverised under the iron heel of Francoism.
		On the afternoon of 25 September 1940, a group of three clandestine travellers arrived in Portbou, exhausted after a harrowing trek across the Pyrenees from Banyuls-sur-Mer in France (15 km distant as the crow flies).
		The author of 'The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction' might seem an unlikely candidate for the most-famous resident of a small coastal resort, far removed from the great intellectual centres, where he spent only the very last day of his life on earth.

		That meant that the only way into Spain was through illegal channels; by then, he was willing to take the chance.

		[xiii] The visitor from France who enters Spain on the eastern side at Port-Bou and travels by train to Barcelona, will be able to observe some, at any rate, of the characteristic features of Catalonia, at one time the most important part of the medieval kingdom of Aragon.
		Barcelona is the best equipped port in Spain and about a third of the total of Spanish imports enter the peninsula at this point.
		Barcelona is thus a collecting and distributing point for the numerous smaller industrial centres scattered throughout the province; it is the most cosmopolitan city in Spain and, [xv] in the eyes of its inhabitants, the most beautiful.

		Benjamin certainly was aware that he was risking his life both if he went south or if he stayed behind in Paris; the latter meant certain death and probably torture at the hands of the Gestapo.
		It does not seem that he was using any forged identity papers when attempting to cross into Spain, and this would make it easier for the border police to identify him.
		In all probability Benjamin did not know people who were in the more advanced escape business, and his portliness and distinctive face made it hard for him to disguise himself anyway.
