I worked on the construction of the Lindoso Dam, and at the time, that place was one of those forgotten by God.
Every now and then we’d go to Spain (we were 500 meters from the border) to have dinner and forget about that godforsaken place.
The problem was that the border closed at 9 p.m., but that was nothing we couldn’t get around by leaving our cars on the Spanish side and sneaking across on foot.
One day, one of the GNR guards got it into his head that he’d arrest us if we did that. So we explained to them that the firewood they used to keep warm (especially during those freezing winter nights) was sent by us—for free.
