The municipality of Tías is preparing for events dedicated to its Historical Heritage, to be held at the El Fondeadero Civic Center from September 24 to 26.

These municipal activities, open to the public, aim to recover the collective memory of the locality. The event will combine academic lectures with interactive sessions where attendees can share their own memories and contribute old documents.
The organization has called on citizens to retrieve old family videos. The association Tenique Cultural will be responsible for digitizing these tapes, thus ensuring the preservation of this valuable audiovisual legacy for future generations.
The events will also explore the economic transformation of Tías, with experts addressing key topics such as water management, tourism development, and fishing activities. Anthropologist Juliette Campagne will facilitate citizen participation, gathering residents' experiences.
Prominent specialists will debate the history and development of Tías' heritage, analyzing socioeconomic transformation, genealogy, and the historical role of women. Archaeologist José de León Hernández is leading the overall coordination of this initiative.
As a closing event, a group field trip will take place on Saturday, September 26, to emblematic sites such as El Oratorio, Casas Hondas, Testeina, and El Taro. The event will conclude with a community gathering featuring food and traditional music.
