Five years ago, thirteen Erasmus students of the University of Barcelona lost their lives in a traffic accident in Freginals, when fifty students from twenty different nationalities were going back to Barcelona after visiting Valencia. This morning, the rector, Joan Guàrdia, and the vice-rector for Students and Participation, Marta Ferrer, paid homage to the victims by placing thirteen white roses on the Montserrat stone, which has the date of the accident engraved, in the garden of the Historical Building, a few steps away from the magnolia and the thirteen boxwoods that were planted in memory of the students.
