SUMMARY:The 425º Anniversary conmemorating the battle of El Batán – Santa Brígida
DESCRIPTION:\nUnder the name  ‘Battle of Batán. Santa Brígida, land of braves’,  the  City Council of the Villa de Santa Brígida has scheduled a series of events to commemorate the 425th anniversary of the most important feat in the military history of the Canary Islands. An episode of heroic resistance by the local inhabitants against the invading forces, in the place of El Batán, the scene of the bloody siege that took place on 3 July, 1599.\nEl Batán in 1599, witnessed the burgeoning population of the island, including natives and colonial settlers, supported by a handful of militiamen, fighting alongside the military authorities of the time, managing to repel an attack by the Dutch fleet, commanded by Vice-Admiral Pieter Van der Does, known more as a pirate around these parts.\n\n					“On the morning of June 25, 1599, a Dutch fleet of near 7,000 men appeared in the bay to attack Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, taking it on the third day. Its people had to take refuge inland, and Santa Brígida was designated the administrative capital of the island for a few days. Until a few brave and resourceful men caused the invaders retreat. Come see a sample of life at the time, and eat something to recover”   \n\n\nThe 6th edition of this Historical Reenactment of the Batalla del Batán is held in the Finca El Galeón, an infrastructure for public use in the municipality of Santa Brígida 29-30 June. \nA festive atmosphere will make an interpretative show of what life was like at the end of the 16th century on Gran Canaria by Adhica association.\nAnyone can participate, either as a spectator or as an extra, wearing period costumes, and demonstrating livelihoods and music of the time. Members of the public can visit the camp, where an exhibition of historical clothes, renaissance dancing and micro scenes will be to educate and surprise. There is a place to have a picnic as well as nice gastronomy on offer. Experience small fragments of what happened in the victory over the Dutch troops.\n\n🗓️ Saturday, June 29 (Finca El Galeón)\n10:15 Walk through Santa Brígida\n11:00 Opening of the camp\n11:15 A prayer for the wounded and that the island does not fall into heretical hands\n11:30 Weapons and armor of the time\n11:45 Field hospital: the surgeon-barber will care for the wounded.\n12:30 Canarian Romanceros: Cantar de Dramas\n12:45 Washerwomen\n13:00 ‘Stories of the invasion’, by Alex Hansen Machín\n13:30 Food and drinks in the Renaissance\nClosing the camp from 14:00-16:00\n16:00 Opening of the camp again\n16:15 Hospitalito: care for the wounded\n16:30 Weapons and armor\n17:00 Canarian stick fighting demonstration\n17:30 Dances and Renaissance dance workshop for everyone\nClosing the camp at 18:30\n\n🗓️ Sunday, June 30 (Finca El Galeón)\n10:15 Walk through Santa Brígida\n11:00 Opening of the camp\n11:15 Prayer for the wounded and that the island does not fall into heretical hands\n11:30 Weapons and armor of the time\n11:45 Field hospital: care for the wounded\n12:00 ‘Stories’ of the invasion’, by Alex Hansen Machín\n12:30 Washerwomen\n12:45 Dances and Renaissance dance workshop for everyone\nClosing the camp at 14:00\n\n\nSaturday 29 June:\nTheatrical performance of ‘The Battle of Batán ‘\n\nTime: 21:00\nPlace: from Calle Tenderete to the Plaza de la Iglesia.\nDescription: Play written by Luis O’Malley, directed by Raguel Santana and performed by the students of the Santa Brígida Theater Workshop .\n\n\n		\n			#gallery-1 {\n				margin: auto;\n			}\n			#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n				float: left;\n				margin-top: 10px;\n				text-align: center;\n				width: 33%;\n			}\n			#gallery-1 img {\n				border: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n			}\n			#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n				margin-left: 0;\n			}\n			/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n
