I'm in the town where the author of Das Passagen-Werk, fearing the Spanish authorities would not grant him passage into Spain, requested passage from Charon instead.
The Walter Benjamin memorial monument, aptly titled "Passages" is an underground stairway leading to the sea.
The entrance of the stairway. A view of the stairway from the upper steps. The light at the end is made blue by the sea. Getting closer to the end, the ceiling disappears, offering a more open view of the sea, the sky and the land. A glass pane prevents the visitors from going further, but the stairway goes on.
