In this beautiful place in the Axarqu\u00eda region of Malaga, we have had a meeting that unites Almonaster la Real and the Fundaci\u00f3n Mezquita de Sevilla with C\u00fatar. A past that dialogues<\/strong> and complements each other: Almonaster with its old mosque from the tenth century<\/strong>, and C\u00fatar through the sandwiched books<\/strong>discovered in 2003; a twelfth-century<\/strong> Qur’an and two manuscripts. <\/p>\n\n

Glories of an Andalusian past that are part of our Andalusian cultural heritage<\/strong> . An exponent that emits an expansive wave towards Europe<\/g> and that speaks of what forged the character and tradition in our towns and people. These places of ancient beauty were meant to share their legacies and hopes, and we have witnessed<\/strong> that. <\/p>\n\n

Surrounded by mango plantations, grown on steep slopes, the events of the festival program took place: a dramatized visit, where the experiences of those who had<\/strong> to leave their lands in 1501 were recounted<\/strong>; the souk, concerts, guided tours of the interpretation center and talks with the locals.<\/p>\n\n

The central act of the meeting had its most emotional moment<\/strong> in the hall of the old cinema. After the welcoming words of the mayor of C\u00fatar, Francisco Ruiz, two conferences were given. The first, by our Vice President Khalid Nieto, dealt with “Rural<\/strong>mosques: practices and functions”; and the second, by Manuel \u00c1ngel Barroso, on the “M<\/strong>ezquita de Almunastyr, heritage space”. <\/p>\n\n

The meeting was closed by the Councilor for Culture of Almonaster, Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00edn, recalling the links with the Mosque Foundation of Seville and detailing the events of the XXV Conference on Islamic Culture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Afterwards, everything was sealed with a pleasant fraternal meal that lasted more than<\/strong> two hours, until the farewell. And there, at the table, were<\/strong> the Culture technicians who resolve and channel the events and meetings: Yolanda Benabat, from Almonaster, and Rub\u00e9n Mu\u00f1oz, from C\u00fatar. <\/p>\n\n

A meeting that is a prelude to other visits and events.<\/p>\n\n
