The commemorative events of the 692 anniversary of the granting of the Charter of Poblament of Benidorm began yesterday with the inauguration of the exhibition '25 anys de somnis i realitats'. This exhibition, which can be visited in the Espai d'Art of the Town Hall, recalls the figure of Bernat de Sarrià, who awarded the first letter of settlement to Benidorm on 8 May 1325; and also the 25 years of staging of this historic event by the Carta de Poblament Group, which emerged within this group.
The opening of the exhibition was attended by the mayor, Toni Pérez; the councilman of Fiestas, Jesús Carrobles; Councilors of the municipal corporation; the queens of the Festes Majors Patronals, Àngela Antón and Anna Galiana; the president of the Association of Penyes, Mariano Nájera; and members of the Carta de Poblament Group, chaired by Mari Luz Navarro.
During his speech, the mayor emphasized that l'Espai d'Art is the best place for an exhibition of the Carta de Poblament of 1325, since in the windows of the upper part of this space are screenprinted fragments of that document from a copy of 1435, which includes the creation of the castle, the limits of Benidorm and the conditions for Christian families to settle in this territory.
