Gonzalo Pedro Sánchez: 'Y Don Benito llegó a la montaña' (And Don Benito arrived at the Mountain)

In 1871 don Benito went for the first time to ‘La Montaña’ (The Mountain), the name the province of Santander was popularly known as at that time. Since then and until the year 1917, three years before his death, the ingenious Canarian writer never stopped visiting the land he accepted & treated with fondness and admiration. Accompanied by the roar of the mountain winds and the ancestral waves of the Cantabrian sea, from the mansion of “San Quintín”, the brilliant pen of the author immortalised some of the works most emblematic of his extensive creative career.

Talk given by Gonzalo Pedro Sánchez Eguren, a graduate in History, in Political Science & Sociology and also in Social & Cultural Anthropology.
