The Government of Andalucia has announced that 2010 will be designated as the ‘Year of Blas Infante’ in celebration of the 125th anniversary of the birth of the man considered the father of Andalucian autonomy.
In addition to making the declaration, the Government is encouraging both institutions and private organisations to instigate and participate in various commemorative activities throughout the region, particularly in areas with strong or special links to Blas Infante.
