The Ye Sociocultural Center hosted this past Saturday, November 7, the presentation of two books by the writer Juan Carlos Viñoly Figueroa: La cocina de Mamá Trina and Camisa Manchada. The event was attended by a large audience, on a day marked by interest, closeness, and affection for the island's culture and traditions.
During the meeting, Juan Carlos Viñoly had the opportunity to introduce both publications and share with the attendees the meaning and history behind these literary works, which have as their common thread the memory, experiences, and roots of Lanzarote.
On the one hand, La cocina de Mamá Trina is a tribute to the traditional cuisine of Lanzarote's grandmothers, to their recipes, their flavors, and those family moments that are part of the collective memory of so many generations. A work that claims the importance of preserving a gastronomic and emotional heritage that should not be lost over time.
On the other hand, Camisa Manchada, a story of old loves, brings us closer to other times and to the human experiences that are part of our identity and our history.
The presentation in Ye had a special significance because it was held in an environment close to the island's roots and traditions. The large presence of neighbors and attendees highlighted the interest aroused by stories that speak of our land, our families, and our customs.
With these two publications, Juan Carlos Viñoly Figueroa contributes to keeping the memory of Lanzarote alive, valuing everyday stories, popular traditions, and the cultural legacy that deserves to be passed on to new generations.
The author wanted to share this very special day with all the people who attended the Ye Sociocultural Center, thanking them for the magnificent welcome and the support received. Two books, two ways of telling Lanzarote, and the same purpose: keeping the memory of our land alive.
