AUTUMN WORKSHOP
GRANADA BEYOND THE ALHAMBRA
Jessica Rodríguez Martínez, architect
Tuesday 22 and 29 in October and Tuesday 5 in November at 18:30 in Les Roches Saturday 9 November, guided tour of the city of Granada
With this tempting title, the architect Jessica Rodríguez Martínez will take us to a Granada that is as beautiful as, for many, unknown. It will be a journey through its history from its Roman origins, its pre Roman times to the present day. In this journey through time, which speaks of Nazari splendor, Christianity, the Renaissance, the Baroque and Romanticism, the word and the image will go hand in hand to show us the beauty and the problems of a unique city.
Information and reservations: 645 340 350 (Cristina) / 616 173 002 (Garbiñe)
We look forward to seeing you!

It promises a very good exchange of opinions.

CINEFORUM
FALLEN LEAVES
26 November at 18:30
At our friend Eloísa´s place
Cycle: Award-winning films
Everything in Fallen Leaves points to Aki Kaurismäki as the undisputed auteur: the restrained love story; the portrait of a poorly paid working class; the sharp, precise dialogue; the nostalgic atmosphere; the evocative music of other times in contrast to the daily news about Ukraine on the radio; the decoration and subtle chromaticism; the nods to cinema or the hopeful final walk to the sound of Les Feuilles Mortes. It is all pure Kaurismäki. You will see it and you will enjoy it. We are waiting for you.

WOMEN IN THE BACKROUND OF HISTORY
CECILIA BÖHL DE FABER Y LARREA (1796-1877)
Cecilia Böhl de Faber y Larrea was a Spanish woman writer who, in order to carve out a niche for herself in a man’s world, signed her works under the pseudonym Fernán Caballero. Let us remember that we are talking about 19th century Spain, a Spain in which it must have been very complicated to be a woman and to have aspirations beyond getting married and starting a family.
It is curious that, in a way, it was her father who gave her the idea, when what he really intended was to dissuade her from her desire to devote herself to writing.
