    "The memorial site" Passagen "(cat." Passatges ") is a monument opened in 1994 for the philosopher Walter Benjamin on the Costa Brava in his death place Portbou, which was designed by the artist Dani Karavan.
    Nice monument with stairs down to the sea.
    "The corridor is closed at the bottom with a glass plate, in German in the quote
     "It is harder to honor the memory of the nameless than that of the famous.
        The memory of the Nameless is dedicated to historical construction.
        Walter Benjamin, G.S. I, 1241 ""
