Montearagón

Posted on October 4, 2026 by nick.iberianature

On the way up to Montearagón castle, taken by the POUM mlitia in September 1936.
Ridiculously beautiful wildflowers like a Monet, a griffon vulture sonewhere above. Always a vulture somewhere over your head in Aragón. With the Orwell Society one May.

My books

My second book Travels around the Spanish Civl War is published by Hurst. Details here.

A genuinely engrossing … highly informed road trip … [local] testimony combined with Lloyd’s research, shows that the physical and psychological scars of the civil war are still raw.’ — TLS

‘A fascinating mixture of travelogue, micro-history and reflection.’ — Literary Review

‘Truly original and, at the same time, compellingly readable. It is a real treat to be taken around Spain today in search of memories of the war by a guide as invariably knowledgeable and hawk-eyed, as funny and as sensitive, as Nick Lloyd.’ — Paul Preston

Forgotten Places: Barcelona and the Spanish Civil War Available now in print and on Kindle.
