How many people know that Cehegín was founded in 822 by the Berbers, or who is four years older than the city of Murcia?
Probably very few people.
Did they know that many of its trees were felled to provide the Armada, or the highest peak is La Lavia and lower Gilico?
The answer may be the same.
José María Alcázar Pastor, a former municipal surveyor and member of the Royal Academy Alfonso X 'El Sabio', presented an updated edition of his "Vademecum on Cehegín ', the great book of the municipality, funded by the Department of Culture, in which contains abundant data that make understanding the origin of the town which shape their current way of life.
What do the colors of the flag ceheginera, and cypresses of his shield?, What religious orders passed by Cehegín?, How and surface term account?, What rivers surrounding it, and how districts are composed?
These are some of the many themes developed in the book, which was released 20 years ago and now has shaken the dust to make themselves known to new generations.
With a packed House of Culture to the flag, despite the cold night and rain that was dropped, the councilman of Culture, Nicholas del Toro, had the difficult task of opening the event and submit to Alcazar Pastor, author of numerous books and great partner in work and projects relating to locality.
Del Toro described him as "a humanist every time you take the pen" as well as being a person who "knows how to see the findings."
For his part, Mayor Jose Soria distinguished his work as "the great guide Cehegín", adding information and stories unknown to the vast majority of those present as to "José María was the one who started the process to which the head Roena current Begastri City, happened to be municipal ownership, and manage the purchase of the Jasper House, the current town hall, for 1,100,000 pesetas. "
The author of "Vademecum on Cehegín 'was very clear during his talks, not biting his tongue when advised to" take an aspirin to read some chapters contain many technical words, "bringing a touch of humor that made her smile to public.
Alcazar spoke at length about what he likes and what has worked throughout his life, Cehegín, comparing its citizens with the main church of Santa Maria Magdalena, saying that "the cehegineros are much more beautiful inside than out, as this wonderful temple. "
Among other things, Alcazar left the door open to a second part of the 'Vademecum on Cehegín', which undoubtedly will become the great legacy we will leave this man to all cehegineros.
