With the will to know the past of the town, about fifty people walked yesterday through the six places of the city that are scenes that will contextualize the Revuelta de los Burots. Through the voice of Artesenc Gerard Girbau, the public went into the climate of repression that was breathed in the town at the beginning of the last century. “We started to rebuild the memory of the revolt in the Plaza Vieja, since that is where life was concentrated in Artés at that time,” explained Girbau, while the town’s mayor, Ernest Clotet, withdrew the canvas from the first panel.
