Shared Island Mystery

Pheasant Island, a tiny landmass straddling the border between Spain and France, is uniquely shared between the two nations, alternating ownership every six months since a treaty was signed in 1659. Meanwhile, Columbus's remains have traveled across Spain, reflecting his desire to be buried in the New World, a wish that ultimately remained unfulfilled during his lifetime. The intriguing histories of these locations highlight the complexities of borders and legacies.
