Madrid as seen through poverty wealth and Franco rule
Sally Dixon profiles Madrid to show a city of beauty and history but with stark poverty. She notes a small middle class, daily wages of 15 to 20 pesetas for waiters, and long apprenticeship practices. The piece discusses Franco’s regime, Falange influence, prison numbers, and social aid efforts by women in the party.
