Centros Andaluces

Last updated

The Centros Andaluces ("Andalusian Centers") were cultural associations that existed throughout Andalusia and in other places in Spain and abroad, dedicated to the creation and promotion of congresses, conferences, publications, expositions, library service, festivals, and in general, all activities related to Andalusian nationalism (Spanish: Andalucismo). The first Centro Andaluz was inaugurated October 22, 1916 in Seville, with a speech by Blas Infante. All of the centers in Spain were closed at the beginning of the dictatorship of Miguel Primo de Rivera in 1923, but some remained open abroad.

The Centros Andaluces published the magazines Bética and Andalucistas , among others.

Statute of Autonomy of Andalusia

The Statute of Autonomy of Andalusia is a law hierarchically located under the 1978 Constitution of Spain, and over any legislation passed by the Andalusian Autonomous Government. During the Spanish transition to democracy, Andalusia was the one region of Spain to take its path to autonomy under what was called the "vía rápida" allowed for by Article 151 of the 1978 Constitution. That article was set out for regions like Andalusia that had been prevented by the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War from adopting a statute of autonomy during the period of the Second Spanish Republic. Following this procedure, Andalusia was constituted as an autonomous community February 28, 1980. The regional holiday of the Andalusia Day commemorates that date. The statute was approved the following year by the Spanish national government.
