"Por Un Duro Y Un Guiso" is a book with a pinch of salt by Clara Serrano Alcázar.
Andalusian migration to Catalonia had two major waves: the first in 1920, with several thousand people from Almería fleeing the decline of mining and the weakening of the wine sector; the second, in 1950, when many more thousands of Andalusian emigrants were returned, with light luggage, from Barcelona's Estació de França, to their respective places of origin, on the train from Seville, nicknamed "El Catalán." Emilia López Domingo from Jaén was thirteen years old.

"Por Un Duro Y Un Guiso" is a self-published book that celebrates working-class memory and brown food. Through the words and hands of Emilia, an Andalusian woman, it tells, with immeasurable sorrow and glory, a life of misery and pride. Clara Serrano Alcázar writes with the sensitivity of a granddaughter, detailing the sadness of a life of labor and the resilience of a generation that transformed the country and the tables where we eat.
