The Department of Citizen Participation promotes this initiative through the Bank of Wisdom Pinatarense and collaboration with the Aike Cultural Association, responsible for the audiovisual project in its fifth installment includes the stories of Pedro Antonio García Campillo, Conchita Escudero Moya, Antonia Ferrer Ortiz and Francisco Luis Gómez García.
The councilor of Civic Participation, Fuensanta García, together with the municipal technician responsible for this initiative, Eva González, today presented the fifth edition of the documentary Memories Crusades, a project of the Bank of the Wisdom of Pinar del Rio, in collaboration with the cultural association AIKE Cultural .
The mayor explained that this initiative came to pay tribute to the elderly of the municipality for the celebration in 2012 of the European Year of Intergenerationality and Active Aging and with the aim of treasuring the oral sources of the recent history of San Pedro del Pinatar.
Fuensanta García pointed out that from the point of departure the testimonies of 23 residents from Pinar del Rio have been collected and, through their experiences, allow us to discover how our municipality has evolved since the first half of the 20th century.
On the other hand, Eva González, has indicated that the elders participating in this fourth installment of the documentary, which will be screened next Sunday, December 16, at 7:30 p.m. in the municipal tent, are Francisco Luis Gómez García, known "Paquico del Quico", which for decades was in front of one of the most traditional bars of the municipality in the center of the town, and Conchita Escudero Moya, who ran the neighboring bar El Capri with her husband and always played a very important role active in local amateur theater and associationism.
The experiences of Pedro Antonio García Campillo, known as Pedrín, one of the best-known confectioners in the area, and Antonia Ferrer Ortiz, entrepreneur and merchant who recalls a fun youth in San Pedro del Pinatar are also reflected.
The aim of Memorias Cruzadas is to extol the role of the elderly as a source of wisdom, but also to offer young people resources to assess the path of those who preceded them, until they turned the municipality into what it is today.
