Program notes:<\/p>\n
* Earthquake, tsunami and desolation.<\/p>\n
On November 1, 1755 one of the largest earthquakes in modern history almost completely destroyed the city of Lisbon and killed more than 60,000 people. The earthquake and subsequent tsunami caused damage to the coast of Cadiz and Huelva. As a result of the movement of the tectonic plates, an island emerged that we know today as Isla Cristina.<\/p>\n
* La higuerita\", fishing village.<\/p>\n
The main activity of Isla Cristina is fishing, favored by its important port. Its fish market is the first for fresh fish auctions in Andalusia and the second for tonnage, only surpassed by Cadiz.<\/p>\n
* Carnival.<\/p>\n
The carnival of Isla Cristina, in the province of Huelva, is one of the oldest and most famous in Spain and is declared as \"Fiesta de Inter\u00e9s Tur\u00edstico de Andaluc\u00eda\". The taste of the islanders for this party is such that it was celebrated even during the years of repression during the dictatorship.<\/p>\n
* Towards dusk and sunset.<\/p>\n
About a poem by Pablo Neruda inspired by the sunset in Isla Cristina.<\/p>\n
\"We have lost even this twilight.
\nNo one saw us this evening with joined hands
\nas the blue night fell over the world.
\nI have seen from my window
\nthe festival of the west in the distant hills.
\nSometimes like a coin
\na piece of sunshine would light up between my hands.
\nI remembered you with a tight soul
\nof that sadness that you know me.
\nThen, where were you?
\nAmong what people?
\nSaying what words?
\nWhy will all the love come to me all at once
\nwhen I feel sad, and I feel you far away?
\nThe book that is always taken in the twilight fell,
\nand like a wounded dog my cloak rolled at my feet.
\nYou always, always move away in the evenings
\nto where the twilight runs erasing statues.\"<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
