Se puede obtener un bono que incluye el castillo de Concepción, el museo refugio y el ascensor panorámico. Es un miedo curioso, bien organizado y con bastante información. Tienda de recuerdos.

Lloré como un niño. Qué poco hemos aprendido del pasado (y olvidado) en España. Qué terribles son las imágenes del museo que nos recuerda, una y otra vez, que siempre hay seres indefensos en todas las guerras, sin culpa ninguna, que sufren los desmanes de dirigentes a los que la vida de las personas les importa nada. Daños colaterales, dicen.

Cuenta la historia que normalmente no sé cuenta en un museo. La resistencia de un pueblo valiente que tuvo que escalar la tierra para sobrevivir. Muy recomendable si de verdad te gusta la historia.
