Exhibition of Museo Torrijos in Alhaurin de la Torre
"Museo Torrijos", exhibited in Alhaurín de la Torre
A tribute to the brave General and his men, 175 years after their execution.
In 1931, on the 100th anniversary of Torrijos and his men's death, Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País organised a series of events including the opening of a museum devoted to Torrijos, containing different items, letters and valuable historic documents.
Car hire in Malaga from only 67,75 Pounds/week
Years later, in 2006, "Torrijos por la Libertad" Association recovered the homage paid several decades before through a small exhibition including items from the association's large historic archives. The exhibition, which showcased even weapons and revisited the General's life, will be run again from 23 to 30 March at Finca El Portón, in Alhaurín de la Torre.
The initiative was announced simultaneously with the writing of the draft for the construction of the "General Torrijos" Museum, in Alhaurín de la Torre, whose edifice will be built in Paraje de Torrealquería, in the district of Viñagrande.
José María de Torrijos and some of his followers were executed by firing squad on San Andrés Beach, Málaga, on December 11th, 1831. They will be always remembered because they bravely attempted to restore liberties and the Constitution in our country during one of the most disastrous reigns in Spanish history, that of Ferdinand VII.
