Trotsky deja Barcelona en primera clase para su exilio en Nueva York, pero dice que fue segunda

The Spanish steamship Montserrat left Barcelona on Christmas Day … 1916. Trotsky claimed they travelled second class. This was one of his silly fibs since he was on record as having occupied a cabin of the first class. The family had paid 1,700 pesetas for second-class tickets but when they turned up to board they discovered that all such berths were occupied, and they were given a first-class cabin at no extra charge.
