Flix ((:ˈfɫiʃ), ) is a town in the ''comarca'' of Ribera d'Ebre, Catalonia, Spain.〔Panareda Clopés, Josep Maria; Rios Calvet, Jaume; Rabella Vives, Josep Maria (1989). ''Guia de Catalunya'', Barcelona:Caixa de Catalunya. ISBN 84-87135-01-3 (Spanish). ISBN 84-87135-02-1 (Catalan). 〕 Situated on a promontory by the Ebro river, the town occupied an important strategic position. Situated on the Madrid–Barcelona railway line, it expanded in the early twentieth century with the construction of a hydroelectric power station and a large chemical plant, ''Electroquímica de Flix''. There is excellent fishing in the horseshoe-shaped bend in the river (day ticket). Every year there is a large international fishing competition at Flix. ==History== Flix was the site of a battle in the Spanish Civil War in 1938. The Battle of the Iron Bridge was fought between the International Brigades and the Fascists〔El Pais, 22 August 2009, page 1 of supplement〕 as part of the Battle of the Ebro. The operation was initially a success for the republicans with the construction of the iron bridge nearly complete by the 3rd Division.〔(Ebro Offensive ), accessed August 2009〕 However at the end they had lost 3,000 soldiers and the battle. Today there is a memorial to this battle at Flix. In 2005 the existence of a vast polluted area on the shores of the Flix Reservoir was disclosed. The environmental disaster involving large quantities of toxic waste was caused by the Ercros chemical factory, located by the shore of the artificial lake.〔(El Síndic vol la neteja del pantà de Flix )〕 Following this disclosure an ambitious plan to clean up the area has been drawn.〔(Els pous de la discòrdia )〕 This plan involves the building of containment barriers and the removal and treatment of the hazardous chemical waste.〔(Comencen les obres de col·locació de la barrera que aïllarà els llots tòxics del pantà de Flix durant la descontaminació )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flix」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
