Abstract

The authors analyse their relationship with the historical event that, 50 years ago, marked their lives with a radical change in the political situation in Portugal. The end of the dictatorship synchronised the country with the rhythm of the times, opening the door to freedoms, the overcoming of colonialist ideas and the rights of women and minorities. The new generations are revisiting their historical awareness, gleaned from indirect witnesses or early childhood experiences of the changes in their family life, while from Spain the joy of freedom won in the neighbouring country is remembered.
