Details

“Young people retracing memory to build the future”, an activity to learn about the recent history of Arucas. *Registration is now open to take part in the free activity via the email juventud@arucas.org Arucas, October 16, 2026. - The Association for Historical Memory of Arucas (AMHA), in collaboration with the Arucas City Council, is organizing 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 young people. The route, which will last approximately one hour, will go through different streets in 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 special historical significance, including the Town Hall, the former premises of the Falange, the former Workers’ Federation or the headquarters of the Women’s Section, among others. This initiative seeks not only to recover and disseminate the memory of those who suffered repression after the 1936 coup d’état, but also to highlight our historical, architectural and cultural heritage, inviting people to look at Arucas’ everyday spaces from a historical and critical perspective. The activity will take place on Friday, November 20, at 5:00 p.m., departing from Plaza de la Constitución, in Arucas. Participation will be free of charge upon prior registration via the email address juventud@arucas.org. Both entities invite the public to take part in this proposal for shared knowledge, memory and reflection.
