San Simon Island | Spain

 
Postcard
San Simon is a small archipelago of four islands located in the Vigo bay to the south of Galicia. The two main islands are San Simon and San Anton. These islands have been inhabited since the fifth century by numerous monastic communities.

During the Spanish Civil War the islands became a prison island, much like Alcatraz, and its prison was reputed to hold as many as two thousand prisoners at any one time.
