Ruta por los Lugares de la Memoria Traumática

The Association for Historical Memory of Arucas (AMHA), in collaboration with the City Council of Arucas, organizes a Route through the Places of Traumatic Memory, an initiative that aims to bring our recent history and democratic memory closer to the public, especially to the younger population. The tour, which will last approximately one hour, will pass through various streets of the historic center, such as León y Castillo, Francisco Gourié and Calvo Sotelo. Along the way there will be stops at spaces and buildings of particular historical significance, including the Town Halls, the old Falange premises, the old Workers’ Federation, and the headquarters of the Female Section, among others. This initiative seeks not only to recover and disseminate the memory of those who suffered repression after the 1936 coup, but also to highlight our historical, architectural and cultural heritage, inviting a view of Arucas’s everyday spaces from a historical and critical perspective. The event will be held on Friday, November 20, at 5:00 PM, with departure from Plaza de la Constitución in Arucas. Participation is free with prior registration via the email juventud@arucas.org. Both entities invite the public to participate in this proposal of knowledge, memory and collective reflection.
