STORIES FROM THE HORROR | The Borders that Unite and Separate Us

Hi everyone, and welcome to this podcast, coming to you from the Canary Islands and reaching listeners around the world. 

This series is a raw and unfiltered look at the darkest chapters of our history. In each episode, I explore dictatorships, hate crimes, and regimes of terror that left scars humanity cannot forget. I give space to silenced voices, forgotten memories, and uncomfortable truths—because some stories must be told if we are to build a better tomorrow.

Natural borders are dividing lines established by physical geographic features, such as mountains, rivers, lakes, or seas, that separate different regions or countries without human intervention.

Clear examples are the Pyrenees, which divide Spain and France, or the Amazon River, which separates Peru from Colombia. These natural barriers not only define political boundaries but can also influence the cultural and biogeographic characteristics of the areas they separate.

Types of Natural Boundaries

These borders can be formed by various geographical features:

Rivers: The course of a river can serve as a border, delimiting territories along its channel.

Mountains and mountain ranges: Mountain ranges, such as the Pyrenees or the Andes, form natural barriers that have historically served as boundaries between countries.

Seas and oceans: Coastlines, or the waters that separate territories, act as natural borders, especially between islands and continents.

Lakes and cliffs: These elements can also be used to mark divisions between regions


That’s it for today’s episode. Thank you for listening, and remember: when we keep memory alive, we also keep dignity alive. I hope you’ll join me in the next one. 

If you have any comments or suggestions for future episodes, I’d love to hear from you.
