Talk — Illustrious Figures of the Canary Islands: Martín Moreno at the Agáldar Museum of City History, Gáldar, Gran Canaria. The Agáldar Museum of City History is launching a new edition of the lecture series Illustrious Figures of the Canary Islands, delivered by Antonio María González Padrón. After the success of previous series dedicated to the queens of Spain, the chronicler of Telde returns to the museum this year to bring us closer to some of the most outstanding figures in the history and culture of the Canary Islands, through four events that will take place between March and June. Lecture programme: • 18 March: Juan Borges Linares, sculptor from Gáldar and Favourite Son of Gáldar. This lecture is also part of the Week of the Virgen de la Vega, highlighting the work of one of the municipality’s great artists. • 15 April: Fernando and Juan León y Castillo, two brothers who were fundamental in the history of the Canary Islands and who drove major political, social and infrastructure transformations in the islands. • 13 May: Martín Moreno, historian from Gáldar and official chronicler of his home city and island, who devoted his life to the study and dissemination of the history of his city and of the Canary Islands. • 17 June: Gregorio Chil, doctor and researcher who played a key role in the study and recovery of the archipelago’s indigenous past. A series that invites us to discover and rediscover those who have shaped the history of our islands, from art and culture to science and research. More information at galdar.es
