Hear the history of El Hospitalito, everlasting landmark of San Juan Cutzalán.
Neither flood, nor earthquake, nor the ravages of time have erased San Juan Cosalá’s earliest Christian templo and architectural landmark from the map.
The story of El Hospitalito, dating back five centuries and standing today as the town’s Centro Cultural, will be unraveled by local historian Gabriel Chávez Rameño on Friday, April 29, during a social affair at the Raquet Club clubhouse.
The event is being organized as a fundraiser for the ProMexico Community Development Center located at Calle Porfirio Díaz 15, opposite the San Juan plaza. It is headquarters for education and training programs aimed at empowering women as working professionals and independent entrepreneurs.
The benefit, scheduled for 4:30 to 8:30 p.m., features a talk Chávez will present to armchair history buffs on life in San Juan from the pre-Hispanic era (when it was known as Cutzalán) to the Spanish Conquest. Guests will also enjoy a program of live music, Mexican appetizers and cash bar service.
The donation for admission is 400 pesos per person. Tickets may be purchased at the Raquet Club office and the ProMexico Center, or ordered by calling 332-204-1011.
