Private tour for PDC members: On Sunday, Oct. 21, at 2 p.m., the Embassy of Spain is offering us a private tour of its new exhibit “Recovered Memories: Spain and the Support for the American Revolution.” The exhibit covers much more: it is a “chronological journey of Spanish-American relations beginning with Spain’s own Age of Enlightenment during the reign of Charles III, through the times of European and American revolutions, and ending with the technological advancements at the turn of the 20th century.” More: https://www.spainculture.us/ city/washington-dc/recovered- memories-spain-and-the- support-for-the-american- revolution/
