Since last October 4 you can enjoy the VI edition of the series of conferences that the Association of Philosophical Hispanism has held every year since 2017.

“Although the first year of the cycle of conferences 'Women with a Spanish/Ibero-American soul' was held with notable success in the majestic setting of the Alma Club in Madrid, successive editions have been organized in the traditional and emblematic Café Gijón in Madrid, with the purpose of reaching more people in this way given the popularity and prestige of the gatherings held in this literary space since the XNUMXth century”

There is no doubt that without all of them, this cycle of conferences, which now begins its VI Edition, would have been unfeasible” concludes Cristina Hermida.
