Their Story:
Three San Antonio's in Chihuahua Mexico
Francisco Franco is believed to have moved to San Antonio, Mexico in his later years. But which San Antonio did he move to?
First San Antonio
Below is a map of a nearby San Antonio in the state of Chihuahua in Mexico.
This may have been where he went but this is not verified in any way.
The San Antonio shown in this map is about 50 miles south of Terlingua as the crow flies.

The San Antonio shown in this map is about 50 miles south of Terlingua as the crow flies.
Or did Francisco Franco go to San Antonio de Bravo across the border from Candelaria, Texas?
Second San Antonio
The following map shows San Antonio de Bravo, Mexico across the border from Candelaria Texas which is in Presidio County west of Terlingua.
There are 111 miles on Farm to Market Road 170 between Terlingua and Candelaria.
Third San Antonio
This San Antonio is about a four hour drive south of Meoqui by today's federal highway 45. To see the San Antonio on this map you need to magnify (click on the +) the view of Santa Barbara at the southern end (pin "B") of this map. San Antonio appears to be a suburb of Santa Barbara.

San Antonio Meoqui is where the Francos were before the Terlingua area so it is not unlikely Francisco Franco went back there.
