Plaza de Andalucia
Plaza de Andalucia is a small square in a residential area known as the Barriada de las Protegidas – neighbourhood of the Protected – and is dominated by the Iglesia San Miguel (Saint Michael’s Church). In the square is a bust of Blas Infante, considered the father of Andalucian autonomy.
Blas Infante Pérez de Vargas, born in 1885, was summarily executed along with other political figures by Franco’s forces on August 11th 1936 at the age of 51 years. The current bust is on the left, the original is on the right – a bit of a change!
