The impact of women in the history of Hondarribia, in ten biographies

  • Over the course of history, the biographies of ten women who have contributed to the history of Hondarribia in different areas have been compiled, as women have been the most forgotten. Each of the women is linked to a point in the historical center and, taking advantage of this fact, they have organized a popular tour.

Through the elected women, it is intended to raise issues such as witchcraft (Inesa Gaxen), war (Juana Mugarrieta), marriage (Maria Teresa of Austria), travel (Hélène Feillet), the sea (Catalina de Gijón), art (Margaret Jordan Patterson), seduction (Graciana),

Each woman is linked to a point in the historical center, “reinforcing the personal history of the woman and creating a beautiful walk”, points out the association promoting the Pare project. Thus, through audios, texts and illustrations by Andrea Villamor, a virtual tour of the network can be carried out, and a face-to-face tour has also been organized on the morning of November 27, guided by historian María José Noain Maura, upon registration.

“With the project The Traces of Women in Hondarribia we want to remember and highlight the contribution of women to the history of this people.”
