Perpignan in early 1900s
Spain's two consulates
Among the files sent by Paul Freudman are several with stamps from the Spanish consulate in Toulouse. This surprised me because we know that Elly made a separate round trip from Toulouse to Perpinan to obtain a Spanish transit visa. This she did on July 12, the day after she had secured the prerequisite Dutch and Portuguese visas.
But why did she go to Perpignan to do it, when Spain had a consulate in Toulouse? The same question applies to Rosalia Freudmann and her husband, who also went to Perpignan for their Spanish visas.
The inevitable conclusion is that the Spanish consulate in Toulouse was not honoring Gissot visas while the Spanish consulate in Perpignan had a different policy.
