Autopark

Dungeons and Dragons?  Game of Thrones? No, a quintessential Art Deco Style advertisement for Autopark, a short-lived theme park from an interesting period of history.  The park featured attractions including "Coves del Drac" a ghost train which rattled through Dragon Caves but its unfortunate timing was its demise.  Opening in 1936, it wasn't long before the political turmoil, social and economic disparity, ideological rifts, and regional conflicts within Spain brought about a Civil War that lasted until early 1939 when Franco's Nationalists, assisted by Hitler won.  This involvement by Hitler proved a testing ground for World War II.
