Mexican flag at the famous farewell to the International Brigades down Barcelona’s Diagonal on 28 October 1938. Some 250-300 Mexicans fought against Franco.

Mexico support for the Republic

Box for machine gun cartridges. Sent by Mexico to Spanish Republic. An artifact reminding of positive role played by Mexico helping Republic. I may be wrong but I think Mexico was the only country in the world never to recognise the Franco regime, not re-establishing until 1977
