Ourense, Auria

Abstract

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Let me first of all welcome you and tell you that I am proud to have you here in Ourense.
Ourense, the city called Auria by Mr. Eduardo Blanco Amor.
Every time I talk about this haunted city, I recall the famous Valle-Inclán, I don’t know why. I repeat that I don’t know why. Maybe because the genius uttered a sentence that I often quote in order to refer to my city: «Things are not the way they are, but the way we remember them». And Ourense is a city to remember.
