On 8th June 1969, Spain’s General Franco closed the land border between Spain and Gibraltar. Overnight supply lines were cut, families were separated and telecommunications ceased. Next week on Gibraltar Stories ‘The Closed Frontier 50 Years On’ a new mini series will begin, this week I’m sharing a preview of it with you.

‘Going South’ is performed by Philip Valverde and is written by Frank Valverde

The Gibraltar Stories theme music is by DP Music on www.melodyloops.com mixed with Gibraltar atmospheric sounds

Gibraltar Stories is produced, edited and presented by Lindsay Weston
