ENGLISH

Seven years before the American movie THE WHALE was produced, Alejandro Guzmán directed a Mexican movie called WALKING DISTANCES (I watched it last month on TV). Both movies are awesome and even though the topic is similar, each movie has its own powerful message!

ESPAÑOL

Siete años antes de que la película estadounidense LA BALLENA se produjera, en México el director Alejandro Guzmán ya había dirigido la bella película DISTANCIAS CORTAS. Aunque el tema es muy parecido, ambas películas llevan mensajes muy diferentes pero muy humanos.

ENGLISH

Diego de Montemayor, a Spanish Sephardic Jew from Malaga, Spain founded the city of Monterrey in northern Mexico in 1596. Before his foundation, two Portuguese settlers made attempts to found the city. They were Alberto del Canto (born in the Azores islands) and Luis de Carvajal y de la Cueva (born in Mogadouro). Many of the first settlers were also Sephardic Jews who did not convert to Catholicism and were unfortunately judged by the Spanish Inquisition in Mexico City. Hernán Galindo directed a theater play to commemorate the city’s 427th Anniversary based on Gabriela Riveros’ historical novel “You will forget the fire” remembering the unfortunate destinies of some of Luis de Carvajal y de la Cueva family members .

ESPAÑOL

El 20 de septiembre de 1596 el malagueño Diego de Montemayor “fundó” por tercera ocasión la ciudad de Monterrey. Antes lo habían hecho los portugueses Alberto del Canto (nacido en las islas de Azores) y Luis de Carvajal y de la Cueva (nacido en Mogadouro). Al igual que estos tres fundadores, entre los primeros colonos de Monterrey había judíos sefarditas que sufrieron las inclemencias de la Santa Inquisición al no convertirse al catolicismo. Este año la ciudad celebró su 427 aniversario con una estupenda obra de teatro dirigida por Hernán Galindo basada en el libro “Olvidarás el fuego” de Gabriela Riveros que recuerda los sufrimientos de algunos miembros de la familia de Luis de Carvajal y de la Cueva.
