The Spanish island of Cabrera is a stunningly beautiful national park. But it has a dark history.
Between 1809 and 1814 the island became a prison for 11,000 defeated Napoleonic soldiers. Conditions were grim and up to 5,000 were estimated to have died of starvation, dehydration, and various illnesses.
