1934 Revolution Tour

Join us on this route in the Asturian language through the streets of the Asturian capital on this itinerary to learn about the latest workers’ revolution in Europe, at a time marked by the rise of socialism and fascism, where the “Asturian Community” came to cherish the idea of a classless society, conquering political power, seizing and occupying dozens of barracks and banks, and suppressing – even – the currency. A historian and official tour guide will accompany us to know key spaces and buildings, the marks of the battles and analyze the main myths from a didactic and objective perspective. Who burned the Campoamor Theatre? Why was the Holy Chamber or the University destroyed? Who really was Aida Lafuente? What led the Asturian workers to rebel against the Republic? An essential visit to discover an episode of our history that every Asturian should know. What are you waiting to sign up for?
