SPANISH CENTER Founded on January 1, 1895, the Spanish Center of Santos was originally headquartered at Rua Marquês de Herval, 75, in Valongo. In the mid-1960s, in need of expansion and real estate opportunities, it moved from its first headquarters on Rua Aguiar de Andrade, in the city center, to its current location on Avenida Ana Costa, 286. In its 128-year history, its headquarters was transformed into a hospital in 1918 to treat patients with Spanish flu, in addition to helping Spanish immigrants return to Spain. Today, its main function is to keep Spanish culture alive and has the Honorary Consulate of Spain in Santos operating there.

In its early days, only native-born Spaniards could serve on the board, as Silvio Martinez Claro, current 1st secretary of the Spanish Center, explains. “Until the 1970s, not even people of Spanish descent could be part of the board of directors. After that, we managed to change the statute, which was very old, and anyone could become a member. We enjoyed our trip and we hope you also enjoy this content created for you, friends of our channel.
