No te arrepientas

The facts told in this book are not unknown. But, in many cases, they have been forgotten, silenced or distorted. Our entire past has long been plagued by manipulation and shame. And we must not regret the mark that Spain has left in history, on the contrary, our ancestors did wonderful things that changed the future of the world. This is the heritage they left us and we should not give up: Spaniards were the ones who drew the map of the world opening the Atlantic, going around the globe and conquering the Pacific Ocean. In Spain the first parliament of Europe was created and also the statutes of free cities. Here the germ of human rights was born. It was the first country to prohibit the enslavement of the defeated and to enact laws to protect them. The first to abandon the horrible practice of burning witches. The one who organized the first international scientific expedition and the first vaccination campaign on three continents. Or the one that had the first women teaching at the university.
