escuela de vallecas 10
Group of artists and writers of the late twenties grouped around the painter Benjamín Palencia and the sculptor Alberto Sánchez "the socialist", who sought the regeneration of Hispanic art. Its meeting center was the geodesic point of Cerro de Almodóvar which they called the witness hill, at the height of Km 9 of the Valencia road, next to the current neighborhood of Santa Eugenia. In this avant-garde initiative of surrealist and cubist tints, soon truncated with the war, participated Maruja Mallo , Moreno Villa , Nicolás de Lekuoma , Miguel Hernández , Lorca, Alberti and so many others.
